Saturday Jelly Roll Day

I decided to get in the spirit and participate and use up one of many jelly rolls. Moda Bake Shop has a pattern that makes two baby quilts, this appealed to me as I need quilts for twin girls! I added borders to make it 40” square,

2nd September finish

This was the Fat Quarter Shop’s 2017 Designer Mystery, with modifications... I washed it with my just completed Cartwheels, which used batik fabrics, and had some dye stain on the border. Looking for recommendations how to remove stains! Wish I’d washed these separately:(

First September finish, On Ringo Lake

here she is big and beautiful at 75”x90”. And heavy, will make a good winter quilt. And soon we’ll start a new mystery! Thank you Bonnie Hunter!

More August finishes

Finally finished this quilt top started in 2017, it was the 2017 Designer Block of the Month and by the time I completed the blocks this year, the finishing kit was not available. So I used scraps to frame and border the squares, not what it was designed to be! It’s a nice lap size and will be nice to donate to a child.

I then finished another one started last year, Cartwheels, using a batik jelly roll. The backing is a microfiber sheet, very soft. Another one to donate

So I’m to the point where I need to sandwich and pin two tops, then quilt three. That will be the absolute end of most everything I’ve started! What a funny feeling, I usually have a few under construction at any one time. BUT Alycia's QOV mystery starts September 5 so that gives me time to get ideas. I do have parts for two more 3-hour baby gingham quilts cut out, and my cousin’s daughter just had twins! And another cousin’s daughter had a boy, so I’ll keep busy. Before you know it another Bonnie Hunter mystery will be out...
