I read about Moda’s National Jelly Roll day a few weeks back and decided it was a good reason to make another quilt. I have jelly rolls and I had patterns, pinterest had patterns, everyone had patterns. The hard part was deciding which roll and which pattern.
I decided on a junior jelly roll by Moda, Simply Colorful II. Here is the top together. Not sure that I really like this print for this pattern, but it is a top now. So we will quilt it up and put it to good use.
Ok, I cheated. I cut the fabric and did some piecing on Friday. I also put together a backing with some leftover strips.
So I was able to press and get my sandwich together Saturday and started some of the quilting. Hope to have the rest done today. So I am calling it Jelly Roll Weekend.
Hope everyone had fun sewing this weekend.
Please follow and like us:
I totally agree with cheating! I couldn’t do it this year and hope to next year, but Saturday’s often have other things planned at this time of year, so I was thinking my day might be a day early!
Well, we know I cheated, I did a Jelly Roll Week . How about a photo of all of your Jelly Rolls. I love to see what everyone has been saving. I love this pattern and your quilt, what fabric did you use?
that is a nice quilt from a jelly roll. There are so many days for this and that I don’t really pay attention to them – I think every day of the year is now claimed for something – anywhere from diseases and now to a jelly roll
I think making it a jelly roll weekend is smart! Great progress and I hope the quilting is fun and finishes up well today. 🙂
Cheating is ok by me! Turned out great and I love the pieced backing also!
I love the prints you used for On a “Jelly” Roll, great top!
It looks great to me.
