Jelly Roll Jam II and a GIVEAWAY!

Fat Quarter Shop has another fabulous shortcut quilt for you guys today!

Jelly Roll Jam II

Guess what? This pattern is so quick and easy it is a must do for your quilty list! If you are like me you probably have a stack of jelly rolls setting around dying to become an actual quilt:) Two things I love…..the pattern is FREE and it will make you TWO quilts!!!

Into the Woods by Lella Boutique

I used one of my newer jelly rolls, Into the Woods by Lella Boutique for Moda, you can get one of these cute little jelly rolls HERE.

Since the Jelly Roll Jam II pattern makes two quilts I decided to separate mine into two color ways…..Light and Dark. This gave me some pretty combos of pink/green and a red/brown.

This quilt goes together quick! Seriously…..one quilt can be done start to finish in a day, love that!

Take 1

The Red/Brown color combo is a different one for me, but I really liked it! I love the hint of mint mixed in there.

I tried something totally different for the quilting on this one…..a wood grain design. I really just free-styled it using some organic wavy lines and adding a swirl for the knot in the wood. To fill in around I just echoed around the knot. This design is pretty forgiving…..trees are kind of gnarly anyway, right! So go for it and give it a try.

I used a solid on the back so you can really see the quilting.

Take 2

Didn’t this one come out so soft and sweet??? Pink and Green is one of my favorite color combos!

As always I used my custom made labels from ikaprint! You can make your own HERE, easy and inexpensive.

For my quilting I used an allover stipple or meander, but kept it large so my quilt would still feel soft and cozy:)

These quilts finish at 36.5″ x 38.5″….great baby quilts. I suppose you could put all the blocks together and make a throw size quilt.

Even though I kind of separated this jelly roll…..they sure do look good together too!

Aviatrix Medallion Quilt Along

Well, it has been super busy over here guys and I am sorry I dropped off the map for a bit. Unfortunately I had a death in the family this past weekend and just as I was getting ready to post this…..earthquake last night!!! Crazy and needless to say my internet crashed. Now, that is a regular occurrence out in the sticks where I live:) but I am going to blame it on the earthquake since the epicenter was about 10 miles from me. This was my third earthquake and I will be happy to never experience another. No damage or anything, but…..freaks me out for like a month! Every time the heat pump cuts on I think its an aftershock:)

Well, I did it….

Aviatrix Medallion Quilt by Elizabeth Hartman

I signed up to participate in the Aviatrix Medallion Quilt Along! Some of my friends from my local MQG lured me in on this one. I just couldn’t resist. You d0 as many borders as you like and if you do them all you have a queen size quilt. I am a little nervous about the center medallion….diamonds! Click on the link or pic to jump over to Oh, Frannson! if you want to join in. You do have to buy the pattern.

Here are my yummy fabrics! I am using the larger pieces for my backgrounds.

My guild also is doing a block of the month where you use several modern elements to re-create a traditional block. I haven’t ventured to far out of the box yet, but I do love these fabrics. They are Twenty Three by Cosmo Cricket for Moda.

Don’t think for a minute I forgot about my lucky Bear Creek Quilting Company giveaway winner!
