Today I finished my jelly roll quilt!
I started this Ridiculously Easy Jelly Roll quilt back in June.
That's when the top looked like this below.
Knowing what I know now, I should've kept it the original size.
But I was intimidated by it. I thought I'd never be able to get it quilted on my own.
So I cut off one of the set of strips from both the top and bottom.
One of the strips I added to the backing.
I used a simple meander stitch to free-motion the layers together.
Using this stitch was much easier than I had thought and went very quickly.
It was during this time when I wished it was still full size.
Oh well! Next time!
I used most of the Moda Savannah jelly roll I had on hand,
and also a good chunk of a solid black jelly roll too.
There were also light coral colored strips in the Savannah collection, but it felt a bit girly
to include those since this would be going to my someday-son-in-law.
I added a label to the back corner.
And here is Jordan receiving his quilt on his 30th birthday!
He's kinda shy, but he loved it!
From Bolt to Beauty. It is a freebie! It's also available on her link tree on Instagram.
I hope you found some time today to sew with a jelly roll!
I have a few more in my stash that still need a project.
