So, I just had to use up the other jelly roll of Nature's Chorus and the other half of the Moda Sugar jelly roll. This is from the same book, Jelly Roll Quilts. Very simple and quick, took 3 days to do. I haven't decided on borders yet but I have a lot of small off-cuts of the white and some of the large border. Thinking of cutting the border into squares and just doing a checkerboard with the solid white.

I used two strips sewn together to make the continuous prairie points for the pillow. I have more since it's a WOF strip so I'll make another pillow to use it on when I think of a different design.

It has a soft, old-fashioned look to me though the colors are brighter.

Super, Pam, lovely use of jelly rolls, and the pillow makes a great addition.

Pam

It's super I love the colours too - I am leaning more & more towards pink these days it must be an age thing LOL.
I have 2 JR's that are the same design I want to use to make a quilt with I may have to see if I can get my hands on this book.

Very neat and crisp. Love the pillow cover.

I have to ask, do you quilt them by hand or machine? You make so many so quickly!

Jim's Gem 06-14-2009 12:56 PM

Pretty quilt!! Looks beautiful, love the pillow too. Boy you crank those quilts out girl!!!

MollieSue 06-14-2009 03:08 PM

That is really, really pretty!!! Is it for you, or a gift? It would be hard for me to give that one away! :-)

sewsewquilter 06-14-2009 03:13 PM

very pretty. Like the throw pillow.

Ducky 06-14-2009 03:19 PM

Very pretty, Pam! It has such a warm, comfortable look to it, doesn't it? How many JR's did you need for the quilt?

littlehud 06-14-2009 05:32 PM

its really pretty; what pattern did you use?

RedGarnet222 06-14-2009 05:46 PM

Oh nice colors pam! The pillow is really the topper for it.

pittsburgpam 06-14-2009 05:48 PM

Thanks all. It's a simple little quilt but it's cheery. It's small enough to curl up with and not so much work that you don't want it dragged around by the grandkids.

I quilt by hand but, since my frame is taken up with a big log cabin right now, none of them are getting quilted. I will get these last ones done by a LAQ. I got a book on machine quilting so I'll see how I like it but it's going to be awhile before I attempt it on an actual quilt.

The last two are simple JR quilts that can be done in a couple of days. Kind of like a quilt in a weekend with jelly rolls. :wink:

Masterpiece of simplicity. Just love the JR ones. Very little time spent cutting fabric!

I don't have any plans to give it away and didn't make it for anyone specifically. These quilts that I am making that I don't have a recipient in mind I am thinking of making a muslin bag for each one, like a pillow case, to store them. I have a whole bunch of unbleached muslin.

There is a small dresser at my parents' house that I will be picking up that I can store them in. I don't think the quilts should be against wood so maybe I can line all sides of the drawers.

It calls for one JR plus the background fabric. I used part of a JR of Moda Sugar for that. The only cutting is cutting the strips to length.

Beautiful quilt, those fabrics are very subtle and delicate...and the pillow is a perfect accent to the quilt!!! You are soooo fast at making quilts :D :D :D

It's from the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott. The pattern is called Blue Lagoon since the one in the book is all in blue.

pittsburgpam 06-14-2009 06:07 PM

I like making the pillows, that's something I've done for years when I decorate. They can be soooo expensive to buy designer ones. I have lots of forms in different sizes and shapes so when I re-decorate I just recover them.

It's fun to try different things on something small and quick, I'm all about quick :P

Mousie 06-14-2009 06:20 PM

wow, Pam...did you come up with the idea for two color prairie points? that is fantastic! :D

Don't know if I am the first to do it. I did that because it's jelly roll strips and one strip isn't wide enough so I thought... sew two together the same way that you would fold a whole piece in half.

I sewed them right sides together with a 1/4 seam allowance and ironed them flat. Because of the 1/4 inch seam I cut the sections at 2 1/4" wide instead of the full jelly roll width of 2 1/2". I realized after I did it and I had another two strips sewn together for something else that I should have folded the points on the outside, not the inside of the seam. Would have been a lot easier instead of trying to get the fold nestled up to the seam.

And after going through sewing them to the piece I thought that doing a 1/8" seam on the strips and cutting the sections at 2 3/8" would be better. That leaves a little bit move room to fold the point down into the seam allowance.

The pattern is simple but so dramatic. Beautiful and soft.

Marcia 06-15-2009 06:41 AM

It is a soft, old-fashioned look and I really like it. The pillow is absolutely adorable too!

sewjoyce 06-15-2009 06:42 AM

Beautiful quilt and pillow!

Mplsgirl 06-15-2009 07:51 AM

PrettyKitty 06-16-2009 06:29 AM

WOW! Beautiful, Pam!

gcathie 06-16-2009 06:59 AM

Very nice....love the colors...and pattern....:-)

k3n 06-16-2009 07:14 AM

Beautiful Pam - and fast too! I love the little pillow and your method for the two colour prairie points is a 'must copy'! LOL

Bevanger 06-16-2009 07:30 AM

awesome quilt. is that the framed 4 patch like i made my landlords? looks great

pittsburgpam 06-16-2009 04:41 PM

Copy away, I'm sure I'm not the first person to do it. I just didn't have wide enough strips so had to sew two together so why not two colors?

Bev, it's like the framed 4 patch but it is done in strips. One strip is the 4 patch blocks with a white JR strip between them then the next strip is the squares and rectangles sewn together.

Lovely! I may have to get a sugar jelly roll from Moda!

Eddie 06-16-2009 06:49 PM

Very, very nice. And I really like the quilt it's on, too! You do excellent work.
