A New Pattern - The Iris Quilt
I am so excited to finally be able to share this quilt with you! My most popular quilt pattern has been my Tessa Quilt and I frequently have people ask me if that quilt is jelly roll or fat quarter friendly (it's not). A few months ago, I started to try to create a similar pattern that was jelly roll or fat quarter friendly.

And after a few months of playing around with different options, I came up with the Iris Quilt which is jelly roll AND fat quarter AND scrap friendly. It was worth the wait.
Since this is an extra special pattern, I thought it deserved some extra special fabric - this collection is Tula Pink's True Colors and it is a BRIGHT. I am obsessed with the fabric that I used for the sashing - it is just so good.

Both the jelly roll and fat quarter friendly versions are of the pattern are both strip pieced so this quilt comes together surprisingly quickly. Normally I try to make 2 versions of a pattern before I release it, but I couldn't help myself with this one - I've already made 3.
I will be sharing more about this quilt tomorrow and will share my pattern testers' quilts on Friday. If you would like to pick up a copy of the Iris Quilt, head over to the shop!

I agree will Sally Livia. This pattern I very complicated. The kit I bought said for beginners. My Mom and I figure the 40 plus years of quilting between the two of us this quilt would be a piece of cake. We bought this as a kit and every thing was pre cut for us. We made the require sets of 2,5,7 and 9strip blocks and have over 165 strips left. Is there a mistake in the pattern or what are we doing wrong. Please help us all out.

I’m sorry I purchased this kit. It doesn’t make sense to me and there is no tutorial online that I can find to assist with the terrible instructions.

I have been quilting for over 20 years and I have never had so much difficulty putting a quilt together. I spent long days trying to figure it out. I was totally lost. I now finally have it together (I think) but have no idea how to trim it. If I cut wrong, I’ve ruined the entire quilt. I would love to see a tutorial on how to trim it.

Is there a tutorial for this quilt? I too am totally lost.

I’m with Laurie. I need a tutorial. Is there one?

I am a newbie to quilting. I ordered the iris quilt complete set. Is there an online tutorial that goes along with making the quilt. I am reading the instructions but am totally lost. Thank you.

I’m having trouble determining what the strips widths/sashing lengths should be. I used jelly rolls, cut these completedstrips into 20” lengths, then tried to add the sashing (sashing too short for that length). I re-read the instructions and think I have correctly determined all the strips should be 6 1/2” long but the sashing doesn’t fit perfectly. HELP… I’ve invested a lot of time into what I’ve already done—now having trouble getting the sashing to fit. Don’t want to mess up everything trying to get the pieces to fit properly
