Mix 'n' Match Saturday is here!

Yayy, it's Mix and Match Saturday again!   It's no secret to those who know me {and have seen my personal stash} that I adore Jelly Rolls! I think they are a fantastic way to buy a little of each fabric in a line. They are so colourful and versatile and my obsession with Charm Squares is only slightly smaller ;)   Sew, I thought since we had sooo many gorgeous NEW Jelly Rolls arrive  at The Oz Material Girls recently that I would feature Pre-cuts today! I will  match them with patterns from Patterns Only that suit pre-cut fabrics.   Clare's Place have some wonderful patterns suitable for  Jelly Rolls and Charm packs.    First off how about the Bubbles and Ruffles Quilt, shown below  with the Wishes from Moda Jelly Roll:  

    This one, the Best Friends Quilt is very striking! It's pictured below with the gorgeous Baby Jane Jelly Roll from Moda  

    The Flipped Throw is lovely! You could use bright colours like the Mixed Bag Prints from Moda also pictured below. It would brighten any space :  

 ~*~   Here are a couple of quilts that would be perfect with Charms!   Here is Jayne's Love from Clare's Place pictured with one of my favourite lines, Daydream by Kate Spain Charm Squares :   

  And finally, here's the Twinkle Twinkle quilt pictured below  with Hubba Hubba from Moda Jelly Roll :  

  Hope this gives you some inspiration and shows you what a quick  and easy option Jelly Rolls are! :)   ~*~   Dont forget, this weekend we are offerning FREE postage on  orders of $50 or more. It ends Midnight Monday 27th Jan.  Check out the details below for your exclusive code!
