Giveaway and a Book Review!

I was given the pleasure to review Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott. I reviewed a previous book by the Lintotts, so I was excited to give this one a look-see.

The basic idea of this book is that there are instructions to make 50 different quilt blocks. For example, there are assorted star blocks. At the beginning and end of the star block section, you can see a quilt using all of the blocks from the instructions (so 2 different quilts). I am not into the fabrics that they used for their quilts; however, strangely enough this is sort of inspiring to me because it gets my brain working to see what kinds of fabrics I could use to make the blocks work for my individual taste.

If you are not into sampler quilts, there are several quilt patterns near the end of the book that utilize some of the block patterns that were discussed throughout. I particularly liked the Rhubarb and Custard Quilt.

The Rhubarb and Custard quilt.

Even if you are a beginning quilter, the patterns and instructions in Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts make the process accessible. At the beginning of the book, the basic techniques are explained, which you can use later in the block instructions. The instructions for the blocks are very well-written and easy to understand. Just to make sure, I tried one of these blocks out for myself. As luck would have it, the host for May for the Mod Stash Quilting Bee chose a sampler quilt in warm colors, so I chose my favorite block from the book and got to work!

I made the top right block from this picture.

The block I chose, Carpenter’s Wheel, took me about 2-3 hours to make. This is a 16″ block, but I calculated to make it smaller since the block for the quilting bee was supposed to be 12″. I used a pink polka dot fabric, with Michael Miller Brady Blossoms and a cute Alexander Henry fabric with yellow lemons on it.

My fabrics cut out

The block is not difficult to make, but it is time consuming since there are so many pieces to assemble. You need 3 differently-colored fabrics to make this block. Maybe I should have chosen different fabrics, since 2 of them had a good amount of white in them? Either way, this block is really stunning in person.

Block that I made…let’s call it Pink Lemonade

So…my conclusion on this book is that if you picked it up in person, you might put it back right away if you didn’t like the fabrics used inside. HOWEVER…I urge you to seriously consider it, because as you can see, when you use different fabrics, the blocks look completely different. It’s sort of a mini encyclopedia of quilt blocks! I am sorry that I have to give this book away, because I totally want it for my sewing library (and I’m not just saying that)!!!

How you can enter to win the book Jelly Roll Sampler Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott:

1. Leave me a comment and show me some love!

2. “Follow” my blog (if you’re already a follower, super!). Then, just leave a second, SEPARATE comment saying that you follow me.

You can have up to 2 entries. I will randomly choose a winner, who will be the new owner of this great book! The drawing will close on Wednesday, May 25th at 11pm CT. Good luck!

  51. Beth says:

    I think it’s rare to see a sampler book that utilizes precuts. I’m imagining lots of ways it could come in handy, such as choosing a couple of blocks to use for a table runner; the precuts would help it come together much more quickly. Thanks for the giveaway.

  59. Duff says:

    you are definitely right about hat when it comes to me–I would put it down because the fabrics they are showing don’t do enough for me to think about the possibilities. I’m going to see if this book is at my library–thanks for the heads up!

  60. Jo says:

    That is a very good sugestion I have put books back a few times because I didn’t like the way things in them looked. Latter seeing it made by someone in different fabrics I loved the pattern. I guess my problem is that I am basicly a visual person and if I see it one way I have alot of trouble trying to see it made in other fabrics. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
