Athenas Puzzle Athenas Puzzle
By: Jean Romack, Wisconsin, USA

This quilt was purchased as a kit and thankfully, all the strips were precut into 2.5″ strips. It took over 1 month to make this quilt, and that was working on it as often as I could. My daughter went quilt shop hopping with me one day and just had to have this one. It is gorgeous and she loves it

Buckeye Pinwheels Buckeye Pinwheels

Feeling Fall-ish Feeling Fall-ish
By: Ainsley, Northwest Territories, Canada

A wedding gift for a cousin. I had bought the jelly roll 2 years earlier with no plans in mind – just something I couldn’t leave in the quilt shop. The colors suited my cousin perfectly, and we were all delighted with how it turned out.

Happy Hibiscus - For Kelly Happy Hibiscus – For Kelly
By: Lizze, Missouri, USA

My Aunt was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer last Spring. She lived in Hawaii for the past 15 years & had a sunny smile. I found this Serrendipity jelly roll, a Hibiscus Batik, backed it in Minkee & made this Strip Search quilt. She told me she took it everywhere. Sadly, she passed away last week.

Jelly Roll Quilt Along Jelly Roll Quilt Along
By: Mary Schuberg, California, USA

This was a quilt done as a quilt-along from Moose on the Porch. The jelly roll was a gift from a dear friend so wrapping up in this quilt always reminds me of the friendship and good times we have shared. The backing is flannel so it is a toasty quilt on cool nights.

Kevin, Molly and Max Kevin, Molly and Max
By: Nancy McElwee, Pennsylvania, USA

I made this quilt as a wedding gift for my nephew and his wife. Each of the blocks represents something in their life. A heart for each of them and their little boy, one for their dog, a bluebird for their wedding theme, three houses representing their homes before marriage and their new home.

Mosaic Mosaic
By: CathyW, United Kingdom

I cut all the marbled samples into 2.5″ squares to enhance the mosaic effect, and I think the black background really enhances the colours. Then I had to go back out the shops to buy more marble for a border! A quilt I cannot give away…

The pattern is Posie Patch, which is why it is called Punkin Patch.

Spring Races Spring Races

There was a race day on 1Choice4Quilting blog in the beginning of summer and since I had never done the Jelly Roll Race I thought it would be fun. I had to cut my own Jelly Roll since I didn’t have any on hand. The quilt reminds me of Spring so I named Spring Races

I sewed my jelly rolls into one long strip and then sewed together end to end and repeated until I got to desired size. I trimmed it to 60″ square and used the remainder to make the piano key border. It was quilted on my TL18 using QBOT. It took me about 4 weeks to complete this one.

The Quilt of Insanity The Quilt of Insanity
By: Ranch Wife, New Mexico, USA

Last year I jumped in on Julie Herman’s (Jaybird Quilts) hexagon quilt along. I am a fairly new quilter-3 yrs & this was my first quilt along. I pieced the entire top and didn’t like it. My fabric no longer spoke to me so I ripped, & ripped, & ripped. I re-pieced it in a scrappy setting & love it!

    The jelly roll quilt is beautiful as was the quilt you completed for my Grandson, Baby Ben.

    To me, Jelly roll suggests pre-cut fabrics made for machine piecers… sewing lots of strips together by machine and sometimes re-cutting and sewing again.
    These are not common in Japan but since I am a hand piecer, I might have missed seeing them.
