There’s something so satisfying about rediscovering forgotten fabric. This quilt started with an old Moda jelly roll I found tucked away in the back of my closet, one of those bundles you buy because you absolutely love it, then somehow save for “the perfect project” for years. The soft florals, faded corals, buttery yellows, and delicate pinks still felt just as charming as the day I bought them, so I finally decided it was time to turn those strips into something beautiful instead of letting them collect dust.
While I was pulling fabrics together, I came across two different sage green prints hidden in my stash. Together they added the perfect balance to all the warm pinks and reds and gave the quilt that soft cottage garden feel. It always amazes me how a couple unexpected fabrics can completely pull a quilt together.
One of my favorite things about using a jelly roll is how effortlessly everything coordinates. Moda collections are wonderful for that — all the prints already speak the same language, so even the scrappiest layouts still feel cohesive. This quilt became the perfect mix of planned and spontaneous sewing, which is honestly my favorite kind of project.
This quilt feels sweet, cheerful, and timeless — and now I’m wondering what other forgotten treasures are hiding in my stash waiting to become something special.
