From Jelly Roll to Masterpiece: The Art of Celestial Stripes

Welcome to the World of "Celestial Stripes": Where Every Quilter Shines

Hello, fellow quilters and creators! Today, I'm thrilled to share something truly special with you — our "Celestial Stripes" quilt pattern. Designed with love and a deep understanding of what makes quilting not just a hobby, but a passion, this pattern is here to inspire, simplify, and celebrate your quilting journey, no matter where you are on that path.


Simplicity Meets Versatility

At its heart, "Celestial Stripes" embodies the joy of quilting with a refreshingly straightforward approach. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by complex patterns or the daunting task of choosing the right materials, this pattern is for you.

This beginner-friendly pattern is for a queen-size quilt. It's easy to sew, versatile, and ideal for use with a Jelly Roll. It's also economical, requiring just one Jelly Roll and some solid border fabric. The Jelly Roll will be entirely used; 36 strips for the quilt's pieced center and the remaining strips for the thin decorative strip between the wide border. The center has many layout variations, which are explained in my YouTube tutorial here.


Crafted for Every Quilter

What makes "Celestial Stripes" truly stand out is its adaptability. This quilt is versatile in size. It can be sewn to fit a queen size bed. If you omit the border strips, it's the perfect size for a baby quilt. And with half the border, it makes a lovely lap size quilt.

This pattern offers numerous benefits:

  • It is compatible with any collection

  • It requires minimal material

  • It is simple and fast to sew

  • It can be created in various layouts and sizes.
