My Jelly Roll Saturday was supposed to be a quilt sewn together in a day, right? So I did work on it pretty diligently BUT just finished putting on the borders today. I did interrupt the progress with alot of appointments this week and some free motion quilting on my Tossed Leaves panel to get ready for autumn decor.
I have several jelly roll quilts I want to whip up, but I chose this one first because I was gifted the perfect jelly roll and bolt of background fabric for it. I used the Safari 2 jelly roll pattern by Gina Gempshaw and quilted treasures. I know I have the free pattern but heck if I can find a link to it on the net now !
The instructions called for 26 safari print jelly roll strips and 1-1/2 yards of background. The thing is...the pattern had you cut pieces for a block which only used half of the strip. So, I made double the blocks for a twin size quilt. So with a couple borders added, the flimsy measures in at 64 x 92. I have 16 full length strips leftover from this roll. I might use them to make a very scrappy binding.

ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteAwesome jelly roll quilt! Great job getting it done so quickly!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely safari prints, bravo for your new finish! This jelly roll pattern sounds fun, and your extra blocks make a pretty good quilt size. Thank you for sharing your new finish and linking up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of jelly roll fabrics. I can see why you were tempted to make the quilt. Great idea to double the size in order not to have leftover fabric to deal with and a functional twin size quilt to boot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt. I'm normally not a fan of browns but this one is really nice. And, the block is more interesting than a lot of the jelly roll blocks. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful jelly roll quilt. I went with browns too. Got all the blocks sewn on that Saturday, assembled rows on Sunday, and finished the flimsy on Monday. For me that was a very quick process.
