I have another Jelly Roll Quilt to share with you and this one was for my Aunt Cecilia.
I called her this past winter and ask for her favorite colors …. which was Red, Blue and White.
Next I called my sister Kim and we both got on the Missouri Quilt Company and the Fat Quarter Shop websites and starting looking at fabric (she’s in Tennessee, I’m in Kansas but we made it work).
We looked for an hour and finally determined that the Daysail by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics would be perfect. The funny thing is at the time I thought it’s nice but not my colors … boy was I wrong. Once it was finished I’m wishing I had made one for me too (for the lakehouse).

It’s been a couple months since my last post …. between Dave’s surgeries and mine … Brooke’s graduation, our trip (then jetlag), etc … lets just say I feel like I’m on a fast moving roller coaster and every day zooms right past me.
I’m sewing a little … but not a lot. Most of the quilts I’m going to share with you over the next month were the ones I made last fall/winter for my family (family quilts for 2015 has carried over to 2016 as the list grew). I shared most of the quilt tops and now I need to share the finished product.
I hope you’re all doing well!
Wow Angie another beautiful creation. I am sure Aunt Cecilia is going to be very happy. Hum? I wonder how I can get on your list–Ha! Angie I am glad you are sewing a little I have stopped as I am having problems with my machine–that darn 1/4 inch is just not coming out right…I just can’t afford to buy a new machine–so I put it away and maybe I can try one day when I can tackle the solution. Anyway thanks for sharing have a great weekend and enjoy. Raquel
Hello Angie,
Beautiful quilt. Love the sailboat fabric used on the back.
Did you finish the quilt with your new quilting machine?
Looking forward to the rest of the finished quilts.
Have a good day.
I’ve not mastered my midarm machine! I tried …but following the pantographs takes a lot of practice and I haven’t had much time to practice. I’m going to get my sister back out here again to help me.
Love EVERYTHING about this quilt ~ the patterns, the colors, and of course… the sailboats!!!
