I’ve completed another Quilt Top!
This Jelly Roll Quilt is actually a Rolie Polie Quilt.
I purchased the fabric from Craftsy and the official name is …. Riley Blake Basic Variety Rolie Polies
It measures 53 x 63 and was made with two Rolie Polies. (Rolie Polie is 24 strips that measure 2.5 x 44.)
I made this quilt for my niece Cora and I’m working on Savanna’s next … it will be the same … just yellow instead of blue.
See ya!
I was going to post today that I was working on another quilt …. but … instead I’m sharing that I finished another quilt.
I started my Jelly Roll Quilt during dinner last night … and every time Dave went out to the garage I sat down and sewed a little. And then this morning … it just kept calling my name.
I have an Online Workshop tonight and I was planning on working on it after the event … but every time I went upstairs I kept seeing the pile of fabric in the corner of my dining room … and like I said it was just calling my name.
Here’s the details:
The picture below is the pile of fabric I started with last night.
One last picture of the Hello Darling Jelly Roll Quilt.
I’ll be taking it to my longarm quilter soon and when I get it back I’ll be sending it to my niece.
See ya!
I usually post my picture at the top and then tell you the story.
But today I’m doing it in reverse … because you have to hear the story.
I was all sure of myself that I had a fix to the quilt I thought was going to be brilliant.
Turns out it’s not so brilliant and I’m going to enlist help … but that’s not the story.
The story is ….. I was sewing, cutting fabric and watching the Royals game …. all at the same time.
And let me just say … Monday nights game was like watching the Playoffs ….. I literally was screaming and yelling … Chase had to remind me that he had company over …but what can I say I LOVE baseball and Monday night was one those games you’ll never forget!
Back to the quilt …..
I ran out of cream squares … so I cut more and got back to sewing …. I did not realize I had picked up the wrong fabric …until the quilt was completely done.
I’m not sure which family member will get this one …maybe I should keep it for myself to remind me of the Royals game.
When I posted it on Facebook someone had a great suggestion …. that I could just add some more lighter squares … making it look like it was on purpose. But … I’ve already bought the binding fabric and backing fabric … if I make it bigger … I’ll need to buy more fabric.
So … I’m going to leave it … and either give it to a nephew … or keep it for myself 🙂
You can never have too many quilts!!
See ya!
I’m happy to announce that the video on how to make a butterfly quilt has been posted.
Click here to check it over on Chic n Scratch.
You’ve already seen both of the quilts …but I’ll repost the pictures as reminder.
The first picture is when the quilt is totally finished.
The next picture is when the quilt top is complete and ready for the long arm quilter.
My 80 Block Quilt and my Flower Quilt are both made the exact same way.
See ya!
