Jaybird Quilts - Telescope Quilt Pattern

Telescope by Jaybird Quilts reimagines a classic quilt layout using Jaybird’s ruler-based construction system.
The design is entirely machine pieced with no Y seams.
All shapes are rotary cut using the Jaybird Quilts Fussy Cut Shapes ruler (JBQ205) together with either the Sidekick (JBQ202) or Super Sidekick (JBQ204) ruler.
No hand stitching or paper piecing is required.
Medium- and small-scale prints, solids, blenders or batiks all work beautifully to emphasise the layered geometric structure of this quilt.
Finished Sizes: 56in x 72in, 97in x 96in
Required Tools: JBQ205 Fussy Cut Shapes + JBQ202 Sidekick or JBQ204 Super Sidekick
