Name: My Jungle Quilt
Working Title: Leafy

Started: 20th of August 2019
Due Date: none
Completed: 19th of December 2019
Days till completion: 122

Pattern: Leafy pattern by Elizabeth Hartman
Technique: traditional piecing

Fabrics: approx. 32
(7) pink fabrics and (18) green fabrics from various designers/collections plus a few (~6) solids for the stems (Kona Cotton). The backgrond fabric is an Alison Glass print called ‚Stitched in Paper‘ from ‚Seventy Six‘ collection.

Binding: by machine
The binding is half and half another Alison Glass print called ‚Union Jack in Heart‘ from the collection ‚Road Trip‘ and a Carolyn Friedlander print called ‚Crosshatch in Leaf‘ from the collection ‚Architextures‘.

BTW: The Backing is ‚Jungle in Pink‘ from the collection ‚Junglemania‘ by Mia Charro.

Quilting Design: Simple Loopy Leaves 2 done by longarm quilter Rachel @ Stitched in Color

Size: approx. 57×82 inches (145×208 cm)
Block Size: approx. 6×19 inches
differs from pattern because I used sashing instead of the small block borders from the pattern

Different Block Designs: 1
but the layout uses half blocks for a staggered design

Blocks: 25 Full, 3 Upper and 3 Lower Blocks
Units per Block: all calculated for my version
Full Block: 27
Lower Block: 15
Upper Block: 16
Pieces: 802

„Leafy“ was the first Sew Along I organized. You can find out all about the Sew Along here:

Costs are calculated via my Quilt Price Calculator: Factors are the size & pieces as mentioned above and the presets for a twin quilt. I did set the batting to 0 Euro because it was ordered at the longarmer. And I addet those costs of 180 Euro to the extras.

In my opinion the normal theory of factor 2 and factor 3 sales prices does not apply here, because I „subcontracted“ the quilting part. That theory accounts for the piecing AND quilting work. So in this case, I’d guess a better sales estimate for this quilt would be the factor 2.
