Jelly Roll Quilt: Done(!!!), and Latest LCQA Quilt Block

Remember that Jelly Roll Quilt Along that I started last summer? Well, it is now officially FINISHED!!

I just LOVED doing this quilt along, and I LOVE the fabric & quilt block designs. I had the quilt quilted together by "My Sewing Room" in Calgary. The quilting design (done on their long-arm machine) is of dragonflies. The binding was my evening project: a great way to finish my quilt, sit by my husband in the living room & catch up on daily events while snuggling under the quilt.

Jelly Roll fabric: "Pashmina" by Moda Fabrics.


The label. Writing on fabric isn't the easiest thing to do. Perhaps I'll print them on computer one day.

I completed block #7 ("Spin Wheel") for the Layer Cake Quilt Along. Originally I cut white patterned borders & the corner squares were going to be green with polka dots, but I botched up the measurements, so I needed to cut more fabric to make this quilt block work.

I just LOVE this latest quilt block - very vibrant & fun.

I think these blocks are looking nice together, although the photo looks faded on this blog. I'm seriously considering brown sashing for the finished quilt. Watcha think??
