Jelly Roll Revisited

Gosh….how many years ago did I do a Jelly Roll Race quilt?  Can it really be that I started it in 2012???  I can now say it is officially finished.

The back is a cross hatch fabric in orange and white to pick up the orange in the four patches and border.

The border is done in a lime green polka dot.  Another quilt top finished – all washed and crinkled.

It’s a three day weekend for us which makes us all smile.  Have a safe one!

  14. Love the quilt! You are sure getting lots of projects finished up!! You will run out pretty soon and have to start some new ones. :o) Where did you find the jack o lantern kit? Was it in Keepsake Quilting, the two you made are just adorable, I think I might give it a try if I can find the kit. I am coming along on my lodge quilt, of course I added a few days work to it by satin stitching around all the trees and moose but I think it looks more finished that way. Had a great day at the lake Sat. and today after church till about six o'clock, just gorgeous down there. Don't know if we are going tomorrow again or stay here and work on the house we are getting ready to take down. If it's 90* like they are predicting we will probably head for the lake! :o) The baby is just gorgeous! What a sweetie!!!

  19. Love it. That Jelly Roll race has a way of turning into something more after you play with it and get it quilted.

  20. That is a very pretty jelly roll quilt. I made one a while ago out of Christmas fabrics for my husband. I didn't add a pretty border like you though.

  26. A jelly roll race, for sure, but with a fun twist of those 4-patches everywhere. They look like little flowers perking up a field. Terrific! Love that cute little baby--so chubby and sweet. You are one lucky grandma.

  28. Love the splashes of orange.
    I thoroughly enjoyed your pincushion parade. We are doing an exchange in my local guild and this gave me lots of ideas.

  30. Adore your jelly roll quilt and may have to crib from your example. I have one in the works that I started last spring, cutting all of the strips into random smaller lengths and thereby doubling the work needed to join them all. But now, want to do more than just sew the strips together over and over again. Have been playing with a block format, but it's not coming together yet. Something like your little 4-patches might be just what it needs to break up the monotony. Otherwise, it will become just a car or picnic quilt.
