The Breezy Bunting Quilt Pattern & Sew Along
The Breezy Bunting quilt pattern is a precut-friendly pattern made with a Jelly Roll or Rolie Polie of fabric. With its vibrant colors and endless design possibilities, the “Breezy Bunting” quilt pattern is a perfect choice for both seasoned quilters and those new to the craft.
Today I’m excited to introduce you to my newest quilt pattern, the Breezy Bunting Quilt! The quilt was inspired by bunting flags and is made using a precut roll of fabric.
This quilt is the pattern for our early Summer Sew along! There will be a series of videos walking you through the construction process.
Depending on the contents of your fabric roll, you can make this quilt with just ONE roll of fabric and your background fabric!
I think this quilt pattern is perfect for Summer, but it also looks fantastic stitched up in other colors for other seasons or no season.
About the Quilt Pattern
The quilt measures 56″ x 84″ when finished. I would consider this quilt a confident beginner quilt pattern.
Supplies Required:
Background Fabric: One 2 1/2″ precut roll of background fabric with at least 40 strips.
OR 2 1/2 yards fabric.
Print Fabrics: One 2 1/2″ precut roll of pattern fabric with at least 40 strips.
PLUS, an additional 1/4 yard of fabric in one of the prints in the precut roll. This fabric will be used if specific prints in the roll are useable (they are too close to the background fabric color) or if certain prints are only included in the roll one time. Depending on the makeup of your precut roll, you may not need this yardage.
OR 3 1/2 yards of Fabric Total in a Variety of Prints.
Backing: 6 Yards 44″ Wide Fabric OR 2 3/4 Yards Wide Back Fabric.
Binding: 3/4 Yard Fabric.
What is a Jelly Roll or Rolie Polie?
A Jelly Roll, or Rolie Polie, is a package of precut fabric that contains 42 2 1/2″ wide by Width of Fabric (WOF) strips. Most of the time, it features all of the fabric prints and colors in a specific fabric collection. Depending on the manufacturer, there may be more or less than 42 fabric strips on a roll.
Jelly Roll quilts and quilt patterns are very popular due to the time saved from using pre-cut fabrics. You also can use a large variety of prints and colors in your quilt project without needing to order multiple SKUs of fabric. Since stores will not sell you a 2 1/2″ cut of fabric, using a jelly roll can save you time and money.
The Breezy Bunting quilt pattern uses one of these precut fabric rolls. There is minimal cutting, which is one of my least favorite parts of quilting.

Sew Along Information
I am hosting a quick summer quilt along with the Breezy Bunting quilt on my YouTube channel!
I’m calling the quilt along the “Use your Roll” quilt along and challenging you to use a Jelly Roll that you already have! I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of precut fabrics in my fabric stash!
The Quilt Along dates are:
- June 7: Intro
- June 9: Cutting & Piecing Tips
- June 16: Finishing
The quilt along will kick off on a Friday evening, giving you the weekend to sew. The blocks come together quickly, and the goal is to have all of the blocks sewn by the next Friday.
Don’t worry if you don’t finish on time; the videos will not be removed from YouTube so that you can work at your own pace!
How to Join the Quilt Along
I like to keep my sew and quilt alongs simple, and I don’t require you to sign up! The best way to participate is to subscribe to my YouTube channel; that way, you’ll be notified when the quilt along videos are live.
