A few years ago, the Stashbusters yahoo group put out a challenge to make quilts from your jelly rolls.  I didnt have any jelly rolls at the time, but I did cut my own from my stash.  I was aiming for autumn colors.

So this was a flimsy for a long time,  maybe someone at Stashbusters will remind me what year I succomed to that challenge. ?  Our Myra also made one and I admired her using a light blue background where I used white.  Oh well,  it is finished NOW.

I quilted it on my domestic with allover baptist fans in honor of Marianne.  She always said the baptist fan worked well on any quilt!  It finished at 63 x 77.  It's already been washed and ready for gifting.  I call it Jungle Jim, just because I couldnt get that out of my head.

  2. Neat quilt! I have a jelly roll waiting to be a quilt, so I’m collecting ideas. And I love the Baptist Fans. Do you double back on some of the lines to be able to keep quilting, or are there lots of starts and stops?
