I have a quilt to show you and it's so cute! I made it as a gift for friends with 2 Jelly Rolls and it was so fast and easy. I used the Sunflower Moonbeam Quilt Pattern which is beginner friendly. If you don't have 2 1/2 inch precuts, you can also use fat quarters for this pattern. So it's versatile for quilters wanting to use fabric from their stash.

About the Pattern
The Sunflower Moonbeam Pattern is a beginner friendly quilt pattern. It was designed to use 2 1/2 inch precuts. I know a lot of times I see a super cute lines of fabric and buy a Jelly Roll (2 1/2 inch precuts) and then don't know what to use it for.
The quilt doesn't have any background fabric so all you need is Jelly Rolls or fat quarters. As I said earlier, the pattern includes cutting directions for fat quarters. I included directions for 3 different versions which you can see below. The 4 color and 3 color versions offer a more modern and clean look. These use yardage.
The Sunflower Moonbeam Pattern includes 6 sizes! I thought with this block based pattern why not include as many sizes as possible! Sizes include baby, small throw, large throw, twin, queen and king.

About this Quilt
This Sunflower Moonbeam started with a love for the fabric line "Bird is the Word" by Ruby Star Society. I fell in love with the colors of this fabric line and the different flowers and birds. So many of the fabrics were so eye catching and I kept coming back to the fabric line for months.
I finally decided to get 2 Jelly Rolls of the line knowing that later I could decide what to use them for.
By the way, if you really love a whole line of fabric, but don't want to or can't afford to buy a whole fat quarter bundle, buying a Jelly Roll is a great way to get a piece of each fabric without paying a huge price. 
This pattern uses a lot of strip piecing. So the blocks come together quite quickly.
If you are a beginner quilter and don't know what strip piecing is, it's when you sew long strips of fabric together and then cut them into smaller units to be sewn into a block. This speeds up the sewing process instead of sewing lots of small pieces of fabric. 
Dividing up the fabrics into pairs was so fun with this quilt! I mean, look at those fabrics! 
I don't usually sew with much black fabric. So this was a good exercise for me to sew with a different color that I'm used to. It's just darker that what I usually use. So I played around with what fabrics I liked to pair the black up with. 
As you can see there are 2 different blocks in this quilt. They alternate throughout. 
An important tip when sewing this quilt is make as many combinations of fabrics as possible with your fabrics. This gives the quilt a more scrappy and balanced look.
Before sewing your blocks together lay them out to make sure the colors are spread throughout the quilt. For instance with this quilt, I spent a lot of time spreading the black out so it wasn't concentrated in anyone space. 
This quilt is a large throw size. I quilted it on my sewing machine with a wavy stitch. The batting is the lightest cotton loft. This is a great thickness for warmer climates like the one we live in, in Asia. 
You can see above I used half yards or fat quarters to make a backing for this quilt. It was a fast way to piece a backing without having to buy more fabric. I used fabrics I thought kind of went with the front of the quilt and fabrics I have had for along time and haven't used. This is a good way to keep my fabric stash down and clean it out a bit when it feels like it's getting out of control.
This became such a cute quilt. I gave it to friends as a gift. I don't know if they like receiving a quilt as much as I like giving one. 😂
I wrapped the quilt up with some old binding I had in my stash from a different quilt and slipped in some color catchers for the first time it's washed.
One more note, with the large throw size, there is enough strips to make your quilt blocks and have just enough left over for your binding too!
Quilting is so much fun. Beginner quilters will find this pattern a fun challenge and an easy way to learn about precuts and strip piecing. Quilting is full of tips and tricks and the best way to learn is to dive right in!
