Rose Compass in Rollin' Along & Book Giveaway!!!

Today is another fun day because I get to share a secret sewing project that I have been keeping secret for over a year!!!  So without further ado . . .here is Rose Compass!!!!


Rose Compass is featured in Martingale's newest compilation book Rollin' Along!!!  This fun book is filled with Jelly Roll Friendly projects from lots of Moda Bake Shop Chefs and compiled by Lissa Alexander.  And truly, there are so many great projects in this book, I have added quite a few of them to my "to make" list!!!


When I designed Rose Compass, I was playing with lots of Stitch and Flip corners and adding layers to see what I could come up with.   I loved that it reminded me of the Stars inside a compass, hence the name.  Because it is made with mostly Stitch and Flip units, it is really easy to make, and  comes together rather quickly and easily, which is awesome for a queen size quilt!!!!


I used Day in Paris by Zen Chic for Moda because I just loved the colors!!!   And I love how some of the lighter fabrics really blended into the background giving some secondary new looks to some of the blocks.   Whatever Jelly Roll you choose, it will look amazing, just be sure and get 2 of the same print as you have to repeat some of the strips ;)  


And for the quilting, I went with a personal favorite for gridline blocks, an all over L and E.  But to change it up, I did them all in one direction, going up.  I think it kind of has an old time parchment feel which went right along with the Rose Compass concept.    



And that is Rose Compass!! I hope you love it as much as I do.  It finishes at 90" x 90" and only has 16 blocks, so again, it's a quick queen size quilt!!   Gotta love big blocks!!! When you make your own Rose Compass quilts, I would love to see them! You can share your quilts with me on social media using hashtags  #happyquiltingwithmc  and tagging @happyquiltingmc or email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com. I can't wait to see your Rose Compass Quilts!!


And lets make it even easier to make your own with a giveaway!!!!!   Martingale has sent me a copy of Rollin' Along for one lucky Happy Quilting Reader, and of course, I will sign it before sending it out ;)  We will run this giveaway just like our Terrific Tuesday Giveaways ;)
