Jelly Roll Quilt

I finally completed this small jelly roll quilt.  Shown here on the park bench in our backyard.  It is a college graduation gift for a cousin's daughter.  I purchased the jelly rolls at Fat Quarter.Com and the pattern is from a friend's jelly roll quilt book.  Sorry I don't know the name of the book or the pattern.  I should have noted those before returning the book. 

I did free-motion quilting on this quilt.  It isn't a true stippling.  My friend calls it meandering.  I would just call it free-motion.  I did use my Bernina 165 for the quilting.  I prefer quilting with this machine since it is housed in my large Koala Quilting Cabinet.  I debated on color for the binding and finally decided on this Moda blue fabric.  I'm very pleased with the results.  Quilt measures 46" x 58".  It could be used as a wallhanging, throw, or lap quilt. 

Jelly Bag

I completed this Jelly Bag today.  It is another of my "use my stash" projects.  The jellyrolls were left over from one of my tablerunner kits from Fat Quarters Shop.  The kit included fabric that I cut into jelly roll strips.  There was enough fabric to cut two jelly rolls from each piece.  The tablerunner only used one of the pieces.  You can see the tablerunner here.

The bag pattern was given to me by my friend Susan.  It is a Jelly Roll Friendly pattern by Bunny Hill Designs.  I had everything I needed to complete the bag in my studio.  Even the covered button kit.  I'm having fun using some of my fabric stash.  Still have lots to go!  I think I know who will receive this bag but I'm not saying at this time.  It will be a family member.
