Jelly Roll Race Quilt for Charity

 

This quilt started as a demo for my quilt guild of how to make a Jelly Roll Race quilt. I didn't use a jelly roll, but cut 2.5" strips from my stash in an attempt to reduce my stash. Random yellom fabric squares/rectangles were added in between the strips.

The backing is a duvet cover I had in my stash. As you can see in the next photo this inspired the quilting design I used.

It may be a little difficult to see, but I upscaled the design from the backing print for the FMQ on the quilt.

Finished size of the quilt is 53" x 64", quilted by myself. Binding is a dark brown solid.

This is my third charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 108 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

 

 

 

Jelly Roll Color Wash Quilt

 

This is the Jelly Roll Color Wash Quilt I made this spring, but didn't make a blog post until now. I had this great jelly roll from Island Batik that was perfect for this quilt. It reminds me of a beach sceneary.

It is a small throw size of 48" x 57". Silk batting from Hobbs Batting inside, which makes it light weight, yet warm.

I used an old Ikea piece I had in my stash for backing. 

Here's a detailed shot of the organic quilting using the walking foot and Aurifil 50wt Dove thread. The striped binding is the icing on the cake.

Keep on quilting!

 

Wild Animal Charity Quilt

 My latest charity quilt is filled with wild animals.

It is made from donated fabrics, plus a paw print fabric and a bird border for the back. Free motion quilted by me. Finished size is 30" x 40".

The backside makes this a truly double sided quilt.

This is my second charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 107 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

Keep on quilting!

 

Spring Table Tunner

 Where I live there's still frost, ice and patches of snow, but during the day we get some warmth from the sun. I long for green grass and flowers in my garden!

I made this table runner which will be great for spring and easter. The tulips grow up from the sand and soil and bring colors to the surroundings.

The table runner is designed by the Norwegian designer Runa Kristiansen. I used fabrics from may stash, and used Aurifil threads for piecing and quilting. Finished size for the runner is 12" x 36".

Keep on quilting!

Traditional Patchwork Quilt for Charity

 

 

 This year's first charity quilt is a traditional patchwork quilt. It consists mostly of donated fabrics. It's quilted with a wavy crosshatch design.

The backing is pieced from a cute Debbie Mumm paper doll panel. Finished size is 42" x 54".

This is my first charity quilt for the year 2024, and number 106 all time for the children's ward at the hospital.

AGF Sewcialite Sampler

 Six weeks in early 2024 was used to make this gorgeous sampler. Ten designers were responsible for two blocks each, in inverse colors. I used fabrics from my stash for both front and back of the quilt.

 

Finished size is 54" x 67". Quilted with wavy horizontal lines. A pieced colorful backing from my stash adds extra color to the quilt.

Keep on quilting!
