Jelly snowflake layout

 

*** Jelly snowflake week 5***

Tada! This is been an incredible amount of fun. Down below I have a few ideas for you for the center and for borders. Mine is scrappy and uses a lot of the different fabrics

I used this super cute  Jolly season fabric line https://shrsl.com/2cuf0

***Center option***

you can make a star just like the ones we've already done but smaller.

My friend Amy has this wonderful tutorial that gives you many size stars including the 6"(6.5" before putting in the quilt) that you need for this center

Go to her website 6” star option https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/2016/08/fast-flying-geese-sawtooth-star.html 

some people went ahead and assemble their quilt early. Heather did a 9 Patch in the middle plus she used the extra strips for a piano keyboard border.

if you'd like to do a 9 Patch in the middle here is a pattern for that http://delawarequilts.com/HelpfulHints/NinePatchQuilt.html

My Daily Video.. July challenge #23 -

I'm wondering if you would be interested in making the Jelly snowflake again? I originally planned to use this Deer Christmas fabric with the pink background. I'd still like to make it and I know a lot of you didn't have a chance to make it the first time. Leave me a comment
