I'm back to share the second of three Halloween quilts that I made this year. I really shouldn't be spending time remaking my existing quilt patterns when I have so many unpublished designs waiting to be written and so many other things I want to do to expand Pieced Just Sew. But sometimes I find a fabric and pattern combination that really calls to me and I just can't help myself!
This Ophelia quilt made with Art Gallery Fabrics' Spooky 'n Witchy collection was one of those times. I featured this fabric/pattern combo in a Fabric Refresh blog post a few months ago and I just couldn't stop looking at it. I really, really loved how it looked, especially with the dark background. I don't use dark backgrounds very often and I definitely don't use a dark print very often. There was just something about this one and I couldn't resist seeing if it looked as great in real life.
Turns out, it looks amazing! I could not be happier with how this quilt turned out!

Are you ready to see my fourth Wayward quilt? This time it is a Halloween version using this year's collaborative collection from the designers at Ruby Star Society called Tiny Frights.
I know I've said it before and I'll say it again. While I don't like celebrating Halloween, I love, love, love Halloween fabrics and Halloween quilts. This quilt is no exception. I really like the color palette in this Tiny Frights collection. And wait until you see the extra surprise with these fabrics. Keep reading to find out!

It's that time again! The annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow, Saturday September 16th! You can read more about Jelly Roll Day HERE, but basically it's a day created by Moda Fabrics to celebrate all of those wonderful jelly roll patterns and spend the day sewing with your favorite 2.5" strips.
If you're ready to sew but still need a pattern to use, I've got you covered! This is the fourth year in a row that I've released a jelly roll pattern right before Jelly Roll Day and I'm hoping it's a tradition I can keep up.
I'm sharing a special jelly roll themed Fabric Refresh post today. I've picked three recent Moda Fabrics collections (one is Ruby Star Society, which is owned by Moda) and have refreshed each of my previous Jelly Roll Day releases (plus a few others) in each of those three fabric lines! There's even a free pattern included, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end of this post!
If you're looking for refreshed versions of my latest pattern, Wayward, you can find those in a separate post HERE.
The first pattern that I'm featuring today is Ophelia, which was my 2022 jelly roll pattern. I still sometimes can't believe how just the right combination of block, sashing, and cornerstone arrangement can take a very simple, not-very-exciting quilt block and turn it into an amazing design! (If I do say so myself, ha!)
The first Ophelia quilt that I'm sharing is in Sherri and Chelsi's latest collection, Bountiful Blooms. This quilt always looks a bit like flowers to me so this collection full of flower prints is perfect! I even went with a yellow print for the cornerstones to imitate flower centers.

Are you ready to see some refreshed Wayward quilt mock-ups? Wayward is my new jelly roll pattern released earlier this week. If you missed that, you can read about the cover quilt HERE, about a second sample quilt and how the name came to be HERE, or about a two-color version HERE.
But if you need even more inspiration for your own Wayward quilt, this is the post for you! I picked a few of my favorite recent fabric collections and refreshed Wayward with them. Let's jump right in!
But first, I want to mention something about these mock-ups. With the way the blocks are constructed, certain fabric combinations show up together multiple times within the quilt. However, that became way too hard to keep track of when coloring these digital images so I often just randomly assigned fabrics to various patches within the quilt. It shouldn't change the overall look of the quilt, but wanted to mention that in case you try to replicate my image exactly. You won't be to match the exact fabric placements shown here.
Okay, on to the quilts! First, I played around with Bountiful Blooms, the latest collection from Sherri and Chelsi to arrive in quilt shops.
One of the things I love about Bountiful Blooms is that it feels like a combination of summer and fall. It feels a little too bright and cheery to be a fall fabric line, but it also feels a little darker and more muted that what you might expect for a summer quilt. This is the perfect fabric collection if you're ready to shift into those cooler autumn months but aren't quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet!
Background fabric can also make a difference in how a quilt "feels." The first mock-up below has a bright white background and maybe leans more towards a summer feel.

I'm sharing one final Wayward quilt today. This one is made with red, white, and blue fabrics. I actually sewed this around the July 4th holiday. I may not have had a completed quilt in time for the holiday but it was fun to be sewing with on-theme fabrics!

I'm back to share another Wayward quilt with you to celebrate the release of my newest quilt pattern! This year is the fourth year that I've released a jelly roll pattern just in time for National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! It feels like tradition now so hopefully I'll be able to keep it up in future years!

I have a new pattern to share! That may not seem like a big deal but it's the first pattern I've managed to release since my Ophelia pattern exactly one year ago! And it feels really, really good!
The pattern is Wayward and you can find it in my pattern shop now! It is a jelly-roll friendly quilt pattern that is here just in time for National Sew a Jelly Roll Day, a day full of all things jelly roll hosted by Moda Fabrics. That fun is happening this Saturday, September 16th, but that doesn't mean you can't get a head start on a Wayward quilt!

Hello! I'm back with my first quilt mockup post in months and I'm changing things up a bit! You may have noticed that the title of this post is missing the "Friday" at the beginning of it. And that I'm not posting this on a Friday. There have been several times over the past three years of doing my Friday Fabric Refresh posts that it would have been more convenient to post on a day other than Friday. So I decided to drop the Friday and just call these posts Fabric Refresh. Because any day of the week is a good day to share quilt mockups!
If you're new around here, my Fabric Refresh posts are where I refresh some of my quilt patterns by mocking them up in new fabrics and share them with you! I've been quilting a long time and I lost track a long time ago of how many times I saw a pattern and was not interested until I saw it in different fabrics. Suddenly, I couldn't wait to make it! I also like to see what a quilt will look like before I make it because sometimes what I picture in my head does not match reality!
If either of the above sound like you too, hopefully these posts will give you some ideas of how you might want to use a fabric collection that you've fallen in love with. Or maybe you've found a pattern of mine that you like, but want to make it in different fabrics and aren't quite sure what it will look like. Or maybe you just like looking at pretty quilts! I know I do!
Okay, let's jump right in! Today I'm featuring Sunwashed by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics. This collection is bright, cheery, full of pretty florals, and perfect for spring!
The first refreshed quilt that I'm sharing today is Scrappy Herringbone which is a layer cake pattern. This is a great pattern if you want to avoid background fabric. It's also great if you have a fabric collection that has a lot of prints that match what you would use as a background fabric and you don't want to leave them out of your quilt. With this pattern, pretty much anything goes and you can use all the fabrics! Depending on which size quilt you choose from the pattern, you'll be using all or almost all of your layer cake squares so there is very little waste!

Happy Friday! It has been a really fun week. On Monday, I released my first quilt pattern of the year, a jelly roll friendly pattern called Ophelia. It was perfect timing because Saturday, September 17th is Moda Fabric's annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! So grab your favorite jelly roll, grab the pattern, and get ready to sew tomorrow!
If you need some inspiration to help you decide what fabric to choose, hopefully this post will help you out. I have refreshed Ophelia in some other fabrics and I wish I had time to make them all!

Are you ready to celebrate National Sew a Jelly Roll Day on Saturday? If you are looking for a fun, quick, and free pattern, you must check out the Jelly Belly Bars quilt pattern from Fat Quarter Shop.
I am helping Fat Quarter Shop celebrate Jelly Roll Day by sharing the quilt that I recently sewed up with a jelly roll of Buttercup and Slate, the newest collection from Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics.

Happy Friday! I’m back today with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new, fresh fabric! Lately, I’ve been featuring a lot of what I think would be considered more “modern” fabric collections from Ruby Star Society and Art Gallery Fabrics. While I definitely feel like my fabric style has evolved a little over the last few years, I still really love the more traditional styles like Fig Tree from Moda Fabrics. Joanna of Fig Tree has captured that classic Fig Tree feel with her latest collection, Stitched.
This collection is so pretty and is perfect is you’re looking to make a cheery quilt. The first quilt that I have refreshed is Stay Square. This is a fast and fun layer cake quilt that really lets the fabric shine! For the accent, I used one of the Bella Solids that coordinates with Stitched called Latte (Bella 9900-245).

Happy Friday! If you
follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the post that I made a week ago where
I gave you an early sneak peek at one of this week’s Friday Fabric Refresh
quilts. If you saw it, you know that
this week is all about Camellia by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society.
If you missed it, you can see that quilt below. It is my Evening Glow pattern and I am obsessed with that dark green print from the collection as the background. Like I said on IG, I am so, so tempted to buy myself a fat quarter bundle of Camellia and the yardage to make this. I love it so much! I really, really, don’t need more fabric though so I am trying to resist.
Hello again! I'm back with part 2 of Friday Fabric Refresh for my new pattern, Log Jam. If you missed part 1 this morning, you can find that post here. That post focused on refreshed versions of the layout option on the pattern cover. This post will be all about refreshed versions of the other two layout options.
Happy Friday! Not only is it Friday, but it's the day before National Sew a Jelly Roll Day that is sponsored by Moda Fabrics and celebrates all things jelly roll! If you're new to this annual celebration, check out Moda's blog post about it here.
I'm celebrating this week by releasing my latest jelly roll pattern, Log Jam. It's a log cabin quilt and it's super fun! I used Tarry Town fabric by Kimberly Kight for Ruby Star Society for the cover quilt.
Hello and happy Friday! National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is tomorrow! Hopefully you have your pattern and your jelly roll picked out and ready to go so you can jump right into sewing in the morning. Maybe you are going to make a Jelly Patch quilt but you are still undecided on fabric. I'm here to help!
Hello, and happy Friday! We are just 8 days away from the annual National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! This year's celebration is happening Saturday, September 19, 2020. If you're planning on sewing a jelly roll project that day, but don't know what you want to make, this week's Friday Fabric Refresh might be able to help!
