Sweetly Scalloped measures 59 1/2″ x 70 1/2″ and is jelly roll friendly. For my quilt, I decided to create my own strip set by cutting 2 1/2″ strips from several of my favorite Fig Tree & Company fabrics. I think I may have five Fig Tree lines in this quilt, which I love! It is pictured below as a layered throw on a full sized bed. You could add an additional border or two if you wanted a larger quilt with more drop!
When making your choices for this quilt, the key is selecting a strong focal fabric (mine is the red floral from Strawberry Fields Revisited) and a prominent scallop fabric, and then building from there. I am already imagining this quilt in seasonal prints or children’s fabric with a vintage flair. The possibilities are endless!
Thank you, blog readers, for your continued support and encouragement! I hope you will give Sweetly Scalloped a try. It is a fun weekend project and a great excuse to break into your favorite 2 1/2″ precut stash. Now head to your sewing room and get carried away quilting, my friends!
