This Long Tall quilt is a pattern from Cozy Quilt Designs. Three friends and I went to a local quilt store last year on a field trip. We saw this quilt sample hanging on the wall and we all fell in love. Each of us bought different fabrics for our quilts. One member of the group sewed her quilt up immediately since she was gifting it ASAP. I recently finished the binding and label on my quilt. It has been gifted and it moved along with its owner to Washington, D.C. last month.
This quilt was easy to make. You need a Jelly Roll (or whatever name other fabric companies call their roll of 40 strips), and a background fabric. This quilt is made in large, rectangular blocks. This is the first time I have made a quilt with large, rectangular shapes instead of the standard square block design.
It was great fun being together with other quilters and choosing our fabrics for this quilt. I finished my top and then it sat a few months before I had it machine quilted by Shari Bahr. She did a wonderful job on this quilt, as she always does on all our quilts. This is a fun way to use up one of those Jelly Rolls you have sitting there waiting to be sewn into a quilt.
Happy Quilting
