A Quilt For Me ~ after many years of making quilts and projects for my friends, sisters and nieces, i decided it was time to make one for me. Jelly roll that took no time, thanks to nonna57 for the lace, perfect touches to finish it off. (Oh, and i couldnt resist showing off my craft room!) 💖

18031Hi Julie, I am from South Aust. and wanted to say hello. I too have a jelly-roll waiting to be sewn into a quilt top but I can't decide how? Do I do it in rows, end for end, rails..... this list is endless. But I do need a new doona cover so I'll have to make up my mind. I love yours.

Hi vickiannette, youre right there are just way too many options but rows is easy, quick, and if you embellish it right, looks amazing! Make sure you post up your finished handiwork! Good luck!
16529What a beautiful quilt! I love the lace, it is just the perfect finishing touch. Your room inspires creativity. Your mum is so proud of you and now I can see first hand why that is. ;)

299559Hey Julie, Way to go girl! Nice job on the quilt, your Mum must be awfully proud of you.
Love your bright and airy craft room too, looking at it, it is obvious you are your mother's daughter. :-)
A big warm welcome to Cute, are you getting an embroidery machine so you can become as obsessed as the rest of us? LOL!!!
Hugs and love, Meg

1228646446I reminds me of the fabric wall, all those bolts of gorgeous fabric. Love it! Excellent craft room, lots of space! I am constantly tripping over something.

173690Your quilt is just wonderful! Your sewing room is so organized...mine looks like a tornado just went roaring through it, but, I do know where everything is, so go figure that one out!!! Ha- I had never thought of adding lace so you have inspired me and have me thinking ribbons, etc. I would love to be able to make AND finish one of these...can only get to sewing the strips together, then it gets gently set aside, waiting for a brainstorm to come. Thanks so much for showing this, hugs and blessings, Penny in TN.

Haha Leaha, future embroidery area! No excuses for me now I guess?... And yes i love it here wish i didnt have to work fulltime to enjoy it more!
35301Beautiful Jelly roll quilt. Another even easier way to do them is to sew and flip, sew and flip, with the backing and batting layered and when you get finished with the jelly rolls, the quilting is already done. The first strip is sewn on flat and then each one after that is sewn right sides together and flipped. Bind it and, voila, instant quilt. It works beautifully.

I want so bad to understand this...is there a video somewhere to see this done? This old Grammies brain has flown the coop! Hugs and blessings, Penny in TN.

Yes i think thats quilt-as-you-go. I thought about that halfway through, but too late by then!
Penny, i have instructions on this, i will have to figure out how to post them up? Might have to ask my expert mum noona57 😉
2008You did your self proud.. The lace is a wonderful touch and the way you arranged the jelly rolls all very eye pleasing right down to the cute bow in the corner... Congratulations.
You have a lovely craft/sewing area.. Thanks for the idea on the triangle trim around the table..

Thankyou shozo1271, it isn't always that organised! They say an organised craft room is the sign of a bored crafter! Not likely!!

Hi Kerry, thanks, Mothers make the best teachers! I only joined today, i gave mum my 'old' iPad as hubby bought me a new one. I was giving mum a 101 in using the iPad and she had to show me Cute. She always talks about her 'cute' friends and thought i would check it out. Turns out there is a lot of great info, projects and ideas here! I probably shouldn't stalk mum too much though! 😉

Its a giveaway isn't it? I don't think she knows i'm on here yet! 🙋 Jelly rolls are deadset THE easiest quilt to make, you cant go wrong. Sew the pieces altogether, straight-lines only, stick in some wadding, back it, stitch in the ditch, bind it and there you have it! Very easy project.

Oh me! I can get to the stitch in the ditch part, but that is where I lose it...can't figure out how to square it up when it is big, then there is the binding...I need step by step directions somewhere!!! Hugs and blessings, Penny in Sevierville, TN.

I'll get some instructions i have them just need to figure out to attach them here. Pinning is SUPER important to keep it square. You will always have to trim it at the very end when finished stitching in the ditch.
