I Heart Jaybird Quilts!

For those of you who haven't heard of or seen the patterns, rulers and all around goodness of Jaybird Quilts, stop everything you are doing and check her out! 

Here is where you can find her: www.jaybirdquilts.com 

I LOVE everything she puts out! You cannot go wrong with any of her patterns or rulers, they RULE! 

I've had my eye on the Seaside Runner and Rock Candy patterns for a bit now. And when we got the Roll-Ups of the new Tula Pink line, Fox Field.. Light Bulb! (I know you are all thinking about Despicable Me now!) 

So, here is what I set out to do.. Make as many Jaybird patterns as I can with ONE Tula Pink Roll-Up! Oh YES!!

Here is what I've done so far:

Seaside Table Runner: 

(using just the greens & grays from Fox Field)

Rock Candy Table Topper:

(using the purples & corals from Fox Field)

Now of course you can see in both projects I used solids for the backgrounds. I pulled both of those out of my stash! Aren't you proud of me?!

And, if you can believe it, this is what I have left still to make a few other patterns from Jaybird:

I think I may have enough green/gray diamonds left to make another Rock Candy!

The reflection you see there is off of the ruler that you use for both of these projects! Her rulers are seriously AWESOME! 

The one you use for Seaside & Rock Candy is called the Sidekick Ruler and you can cut triangles, diamonds, and half triangles with it, in four different sizes! 

Here are a few of her other projects I am planning/have in the works right now: 

So, Park Bench is actually a booklet and can be used as a Block of the Month (BOM). You get 8 different block patterns in this one! (Almost done with the blocks for that one!)

Night Sky has been one of her most popular patterns I think. There is a beautiful version of it floating around Pinterest done with Tula Pink fabrics.. I think it may have been in my "Pinterest" post a while back! :P  I am scheming it with the new Vanessa Christensen line "Color Me Happy", I may be stopping by Seams Like Home tomorrow to get my supplies!

You can also see the booklets that come with the Rulers. I have the Sidekick Ruler & the Hex N More Ruler. With the Hex N More you can cut hexagons, half hexagons, triangles and jewels. The possibilities are endless; think about all of the awesome triangle and hexagon quilts that are floating around on Pinterest.. (Ahhh .. lost in project-land!). 

Anywhoo.. in case you are wondering.. No she is not paying me to say nice things about her products.. I just really really like them! :) 

Go check her out if you haven't seen her stuff yet.. and if you have, well, head over to her site anyway because she has an awesome project going right now that you can be involved in!

Happy Sewing,

Enjoli & Gertrude (who is very tired from whipping out the above projects!)
