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.
