      Dessert Roll Quilts - Pam Lintott

      Introduction

      Dessert Rolls are delicious bundles of twenty 5in wide strips cut across the width of the fabric, produced by our favourite fabric company, Moda, who never stop providing us with exactly what we want. In this book we have twelve exciting new quilts to make with dessert rolls, which we hope will inspire you to try them.

      After writing eight bestselling books on jelly rolls quilts, there can be no denying our love for jelly rolls and working with strips of fabrics. Working with 5in wide strips of fabric has really captured our imagination as it opens up so many design possibilities. All the quilts in this book use just one dessert roll, so as long as you have a dessert roll or twenty 5in strips cut across the width of the fabric, you can make any of the quilts in this book. You may have to add some background fabric or border fabric and if so this is clearly stated in the Requirements for each quilt.

      You know that the fabrics in your dessert roll are going to coordinate well, so if you find choosing fabrics the most difficult part of quilt making then this will make life easy for you. Even if you love choosing your own fabrics, sometimes speed is of the essence and you will find that the quilts in this book are great for that quick quilt you have to make in a hurry.

      Thinking of dessert rolls whilst designing these patterns made us feel hungry, and when making quilts there is nothing better than something sweet to nibble on, so we decided to feature recipes with our patterns. When researching the recipes, we came across a file of recipes sent in by our customers nearly twenty years ago. If you recognize one of your recipes here we hope you don’t mind us making it available to the quilting world at large. We’ve made them for our workshops so we know they taste good. Other recipes included are favourites from family and friends which are quick to make and always turn out great.

      Getting Started

      What is a Dessert Roll?

      A dessert roll is a roll of twenty fabrics cut in 5in wide strips across the width of the fabric. If you want to make any of the dessert roll quilts in this book and don’t have a dessert roll to use, then cut a 5in wide strip from twenty fabrics from your stash and you can follow all the instructions in just the same way. Our patterns are based on a dessert roll strip being 42in long.

      Imperial or Metric?

      Dessert rolls from Moda are cut 5in wide and at The Quilt Room we have continued to cut our strip bundles 5in wide. When quilt making, it is impossible to mix metric and imperial measurements. It would be absurd to have a 5in strip and tell you to cut it 12.7cm to make a square! It wouldn’t be square and nothing would fit. This caused a dilemma when writing instructions for our quilts and a decision had to be made. All our instructions therefore are written in inches. To convert inches to centimetres, multiply the inch measurement by 2.54. For your convenience, any extra fabric you will need, given in the Requirements panel at the start of the quilt instructions, is given in both metric and imperial.

      Seam Allowance

      We cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining an accurate scant ¹⁄4in seam allowance throughout. Please take the time to check your seam allowance with the seam allowance test at the back of the book.

      Tools Used

      When cutting half-square triangles from strips, we use the Multi-Size 45/90 and Multi-Size 45/60 from Creative Grids, which have markings that refer to the finished size. If you are using a different ruler when cutting half-square triangles, please make sure you are using the correct markings before cutting.

      Quilt Sizes

      In this book we have shown what can be achieved with just one dessert roll. We have added background fabric and borders but the basis of each quilt is just one dessert roll. The size of our quilts is therefore restricted to this fact but there is nothing to stop you using more fabric and increasing the size of your quilt. The Vital Statistics in each chapter gives you all the information you need to enable you to do some simple calculations to make a larger quilt.

      Diagrams

      Diagrams have been provided to help you make the quilts and these are normally beneath or beside the relevant stepped instruction. The direction in which fabric should be pressed is indicated by arrows on the diagrams. The reverse side of the fabric is shown in a lighter colour than the right side.

      Washing Notes

      It is important that pre-cut fabric is not washed before use. Save the washing until your quilt is complete and then make use of a colour catcher in the wash or possibly dry clean.

      Before You Start

      Before you dive into making a quilt please read the instructions fully and don’t forget to keep that scant ¹⁄4in seam allowance. Most of all – have fun. We designed these quilts to be easy to make and we hope they will be well used and loved. The techniques we use do encourage accuracy but no one is going to be judging you on every last point!

      Three 'dessert rolls' of fabric

      Weekender

      This is the perfect project for a weekend of sewing. By the end of the weekend you will most definitely have finished your quilt top and more than likely finished off the weekender biscuits that you have made to keep you going! We chose a plain white as our accent fabric as we didn’t want to introduce another colour but a flash of yellow or red would also look great.

      The variation quilt has a retro feel and its contemporary pattern certainly suits the bright, colourful fabrics selected for it.

      Recipe:
