Getting Lazy with Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts
by admin — 19 Comments » Lazies, I’m so excited to introduce you to the very talented Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts. Many of you already know Julie’s work as she’s been published in many quilt magazines. Julie is a prolific quilter, long-time Lazy Girl, blogger and creative force.
Hugs & Kisses #JBQ106
Jaybird Quilts
Along with my luggage, I found (met) Julie at baggage claim at the Houston airport last year. That’s right, baggage claim. Julie was the only one in our large group with any energy by the time we arrived in Houston.
Lazy Angle Ruler
With our Lazy Angle ruler joining the Creative Grids family, I contacted Julie and asked if she’d play with the ruler and see where it took her. Well, I didn’t know she was a ruler-lovin’ kind of quilter and she went wild with it.
More about the Creative Grids Lazy Angle ruler here.

Today, Julie shares her five new Jaybird Quilts patterns, all of which feature the Creative Grids Lazy Angle ruler. I love Julie’s designs, each one more than the last. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

Hugs & Kisses, #JBQ106
Shown above, I love Hugs & Kisses. The pieced ‘X’s and diamond shaped ‘O’s create a simply vibrant overall design.
Firecracker, #JBQ105
Spinning stars remind me of fireworks. The fantastic colors set against the drama of the white background make for a lively and festive quilt.
Firecracker, JBQ105
Fast Forward, #JBQ107
Pieced strip sets make this a quick project. The black background and spacing between the pieced spirals give great visual movement.
Fast Forward, JBQ107
Unwind, #JBQ104
I love Unwind. This quilt is an excellent opportunity to play with dramatic fabric combinations. Don’t be shy, throw it all in to the mix and Unwind a gorgeous quilt.
Unwind, JBQ104
Carnival, #JBQ108
I’m a sucker for these chunky, dancing star blocks. They remind me of wild spinning carnival rides.

They are wonderful. My favorite is the Carnival.
Love the Fast Forward; the name absolutely fits. Great movement. It also makes me thing “Unwind”, because it could thread unwinding off the spools. Great job.
I LOVE them all! I can’t wait to get my hands on all 5 patterns. I do love the the colors in Unwind.
Wow! Awsome, ladies! I looked at the new ruler earilier and put it on my definate list of things to have. Now I love the new quilt patterns. Can’t wait for the patterns to be released…keep us posted…
I LOVE Julie’s quilts and follow her blog almost daily to see if she’s posted anything new. I am noping to buy some of her newest quilts and the rulers necessary to make them very soon. y favorites on her newest are Fast Forward, Unwind, and Hugs & Kisses. I think if I had to choose that Fast Forward might be my favorite of those three. There’s just something about that one that really calls to me.
Hi,
I think they are all so beautiful, I especially love the Hugs & Kisses. I am a beginner, and I also have your book “Lazy & Lovin’ It” also the ruler, I have not yet tried, guess I need to see your video again. I am disabled and learning on my own., I hope to get the nerve to try it.

‘Fast forward’ has to be my favorite quilt. It reminds me of ribbons twisting. Very illusional. I love the Lazy Angle ruler and will definitely be trying out this design. thank you for your inspiration.
I think I will have to have ALL of your new patterns…they are wonderful, and that ruler is the neatest thing…got to have it…can’t wait for the last patterns to be ready for shipping..will any quilt shops carry your patterns in the Charlotte, N.C. area? You are soooo inspiring to all of us…
I love the bright colors in these quilts ! How fun to have so many choices of
patterns with the fancy ruler!
