Weekly Finish #13-#14: Jelly Roll Sizzle and Villa Rosa Zipper

-

 

Jelly Roll Sizzle

Finished Size: 55" sq.


I don't know why, but a few years ago I bought 2 "wine" jelly rolls from Joann's.  The rolls were stored away and put on the back burner until this year when I saw the free FQS Jelly Roll Sizzle pattern by Pat Sloan.  I previously posted a picture of the top here.

I wanted the pinwheels to stand out and considered red.  But thought it would blend in too much with the red strips so I went with a dark green.  After completing the top, however, I regretted not going with the red pinwheels.

The border fabric is from my stash.  I thought the green grapes would fit right in with the "wine" theme of the blocks.

I used the Field of Flowers E2E quilt design from PSL.  The backing is yardage from my stash, and the batting is pieced from leftover pieces of Warm & Natural.


Zipper by Villa Rosa Designs

Finished Size: 55" x 72"



Last year, I bought a kit from Villa Rosa Designs during one of the Fry-Day Happy Hour live sales on YouTube.


I love Villa Rosa Designs.  They are fast, easy, and look great.

I used the Wrenchworks E2E quilt design from PSL.  The backing is a cotton-blend sheet, and the batting is Warm & Natural.


UPDATE (9/11): Both quilts were also donated to the Maui Fire victims via the Maui Quilt Shop.  I hope these quilts bring some sense of comfort to those affected by this tragedy.

I'm happy to join these linky parties.  Be sure to visit them to see what other quilters are sharing.


Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

    Beautiful donation quilts, they look very pretty. I love the green pinwheels, they look great with the fabrics. Red would have been nice too, but I love the green version ;))
    Zipper is fun and pretty!
    Thank you for sharing and linking up!

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

-

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) squ

Weekly Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars 2020

  I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabric large enough for a backing but I found this black-and-white toile fabric, which is  actually a curtain made

Weekly Finish #1: Free To Be Wild Horse Panel

  Free To Be Wild Finished Size: 67" x 72" I saw this quilt on social media a couple of years ago promoting Riley Blake's Back In The Saddle Collection.  I was immediately captivated and knew I wanted to make it for my daughter. Sadly, this was an older collection, and this particular panel with the black horse was nowhere to be found. However, I found this panel with the running wild horses from the same collection and knew my daughter would love it. In December, I decided to make this quilt for my daughter's birthday this month.  I searched social media for a pattern and found a tutorial for this quilt by Quiltscapes . Luckily, I found the pillow panels from the same collection for the quilt's four corners.  Sewing the top was fast and easy -- just add strips for borders and done. I quilted it with an E2E design from My Creative Stitches and used Warm & Natural for batting. My daughter's birthday is next week.  But she came for a quick visit this past we
