Jelly Roll Quilts


This month's favorite Summer Project for A Quilting Life  is your favorite Jelly Roll Quilt Pattern.  I have a lot of 'go-to' JR patterns, but I love this one for the flow and color.  It is my own design and the tutorial can be found HERE.  It is a Faux Braid using just a half log cabin block - yes, just ONE block.



 You get the design by color lay-out and setting of the block.  Very quick and very easy as long as you label your rows.



And this was the first quilt I had long-armed by a new longarmer in the area and I love this pattern that flows from one area into the next adding to the design of the braid.



The fabric is a Bunny Hill design 'Lily & Will' and I added some of my stash lights.  The backing is a Benartex lite brown floral on brown. Finished size is 58" x 66".



Maybe you have a favorite or go-to Jelly Roll quilt pattern that you would like to share.  I will be linking up  HERE - you may want to check out some of the other quilts for inspiration and resources.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Beautiful quilt, and that quilting design is fabulous! Your new longarmer did a wonderful job! I'd be interested to know the name of that quilting design as I think it would be very versatile.

I love your design and quilt Sharon! Very simple and effective - the best kind. I've only done one JR quilt using a Bali Pop. I adore the quilt, but I really struggled because many of the strips were not a true 2-1/2". I haven't bought a JR since!

Barbara said...

What a cute pattern! I love it. I have bookmarked your tutorial. I would like to try this sometime. I think scrappy version would be very pretty too.

Joanna said...

This is lovely and the quilting design is perfect!

KaHolly said...

Just beautiful. I'm not a lover of edge-to-edge longarm quilting, but in this case, it's perfect for that quilt. Wow!! I'd bring more quilts to her, for sure!!

It's gorgeous! I love the color and the quilting. It's so modern.

I have a layer cake that's collecting dust. Do you have any "go to" patterns for layer cakes? Love your finish!
