August Pattern of the Month

Chatting about the $5 August pattern of the month today. =)

Jelly Sticks is the August $5 pattern of the month. You can purchase it here. It is a fun one to make! A couple years ago, I shared a video when I made a second version using my stash of vintage sheets. It turned out so pretty!

You can watch the video of me making this quilt here. I backed it in minky and it’s the coziest quilt! You can see the finished quilt in today’s video.

Just looking at all of those pretty vintage sheets makes me want to start collecting them again. =) They are such a fun thrift store find.

Vintage Sheets

You can also find good ones over on Etsy.  When I am shopping on Etsy, I most often buy a fat quarter of a vintage sheet (not the whole thing!). Then, with a quilt like Jelly Sticks, I cut strips of the size that I need.

My original Jelly Sticks quilt was made using Buttercup and Slate:

Let’s take a look at Jelly Sticks in some other fabric options. First up, in the video, I promised a fall version. Before sharing in Cozy Up fabrics, I checked to make sure that you could still purchase Cozy Up jelly rolls and sure enough you can. There is still a nice selection in online quilt shops as well as in Etsy shops.

I love this one in Cozy Up. It makes me want to grab a Cozy Up jelly roll off of my shelves and start stitching. =) I also noticed after posting the image that I still have a Cali & Co. fabric mixed in with my Cozy Up fabrics…can you spot it? Speaking of Cali & Co….here’s Jelly Sticks using those fabrics:

Cali & Co. will be in quilt shops later this fall. Of course I also wanted to see it in Starberry fabrics:

Perfectly festive. =) Let me know which version is your favorite. =) Have a wonderful Saturday! Corey
