Inspired by the arts and crafts movement and the gardens designed in the same style, Isabella from Lewis & Irene is a quilt fabric collection of gently flowing florals with garden birds coloured with spiced plums and warm terracottas - sumptuous yet equally homely and cosy.
The Water Gardens strip roll consists of 30 strips of 100% cotton fabric, two of each print in the range. Each strip is 2.5" by 43" in size, and there are many jelly roll and strip piecing quilt patterns available that can help to create gorgeous quilts from just one pack.
Our most common question is 'What is a fat quarter?' The diagram below shows how all the various cuts of fabric are measured, but in short:
- A fat quarter is where half a metre is cut off the fabric bolt, then cut in half again parallel to the selvedge - finished size is approximately 20" x 21-22" (50cm x 55cm) including the selvedge
- A long quarter is simply quarter of a metre cut straight off the bolt - finished size is approximately 10" x 42-44" (25cm x 110cm) including the selvedge.
