Here is the finished comfort quilt I made out of a jelly roll practicing for a Jelly Roll Race.

And here is the quilting.

I did a different design in each row from the middle down, and then did Mirror image of the same designs the other direction. 

This is Connie the winner of the Jelly Roll Race 

at the Summer Sew In this past week end

that I wrote about earlier.

She finished in 40 minutes.

This is Missy.

She's a 'newbie', started in March.

Took my Free Motion Class after the race and

quilted her entire quilt with intersecting wavy lines.

(See the very top line of quilting in the second pic above,)

This last quilt was made by Trish.

You can see she used the same fabric that I did in mine but they look different.

That's the beauty of this Pattern.  No 2 look alike.

Happy quilting!

Summer sew in

Today is the Summer Sew In

at Quilters Corner in Midwest City OK.

There is a Jelly Roll Race this morning with a prize of course, (Mary gives good prizes!!)

And this afternoon I'll be teaching how to 

quilt the "Jelly Roll".

Here's a sneak peek:

This is the back of the comfort quilt I've been making.

(I'll get a good pic today and post tomorrow, maybe even with binding!)

Will also have pics of the other jelly roll quilts.

Hope you all are keeping cool, dry or out of the line of fire.

What a summer we are having!

Happy quilting!

Busy Week

Finished the jelly roll race quilt top earlier in the week.

I think it turned out great.  

Will get it quilted next week and then sent off

to my friend.

The good news is that I have more than half the

layer cake left to play with!  :o)

Yesterday we had our guild charity sew'n go.

We did string quilts this time and made a whole

pile of blocks.

It's always fun when we all work on the same thing.

Just sew, pedal to the metal,

with someone coming around to pick up

all your chains hanging off the back of your sewing machine  to press it for you.

Then bringing it back for you to sew more strings on.

We had a few ladies that had never done string piecing before and they were immediate fans.

If you are not familiar with string piecing check here. 

This String piecing primer is one of the best I've found.

And if you look down the left side of the page, 

you'll find tons of free patterns for using up your

scraps with and with out foundations.

Happy quilting.
