Well I've just put the binding on my latest quilt! Malc bought me the jelly roll on holiday so I've made a little quilt for me, to keep the cold out while I'm watching TV. I'm so sick of the price of gas going up that I decided that instead of keeping the heating on, we'll have warm quilts and an extra sweater on this year. lol! (and maybe a tot of whisky) I shall probably be alcoholic by New Years Eve ! lol!

Karen...that is boootiful gal!!!! I love how you have quilted it too!!, is it difficult to braid like that, its on my every growing 'to do' list??

AND the way the weather has been this summer in the U.K. you probably need it right now don't you in the evenings :shock: :roll:

WOw that turned out nice.

I love it Karen. Love the colors and the braid pattern.

Thanks girls....Izy it 's a really easy one to follow (it would have to be for me!) But its made easier because the jelly rolls are all the same width so you've only got one cut to make, and thats across the strip.

It's beautiful!
Great job!!

Very nice Karen, great job!! :)

Karen, its gorgeous! Great pattern for a jelly roll.

What sweet, soft colors! I'm sure it (and maybe a drop of the whiskey) will keep you warm and happy!

I can feel the warmth from it already! It's very pretty.

Very pretty! I like a lot!

So pretty, what did you use for the batting? I just love how puffy it is.

I just used some light weight wadding Elizabeth. I usually just back them with fleece (no wadding) but this time I wanted a bit of extra warmth. Seems like the older I get the more I feel the cold!

Great use of a jelly roll! I'll bet it went together pretty quickly! Love the pattern, love the fabrics--I can just picture you sitting there cuddled up in your quilt with a whiskey, watching the telly!

That is so pretty! I'd love to see a picture of you with it on your lap and your warming drink!

Karenmay, it is gorgeous girl. I loveeee the colors and the quilting is awesome. It should keep you nice and toasty + the DH and the drink :wink:

OH Karen what a warm and toasty quilt. You will surely save heating prices when you wrap up with it.

Oh, that is very pretty! You did a great job. I cuddle up with a quilt on the couch when watching TV too.

Oh Karen, i just love your jelly roll quilt!!! I am sooo going to have to try a french braid :) :) :)

hmmm, did you do it on foundation fabric, or just wing it? lol Are your strips the same length on each side of your braid, i guess they would be...hmmm, what length strips did you use Karen? It looks so nice :)

I love it Karen! very pretty colors! Between that quilt and your tot of whiskey I think you are set for winter!!!!

Love ,,,love ....love your quilt...mind if I join you this winter.....We can snuggle under our quilts and tip a few back and sew away.....Lord only know what the out come would be but we sure would have a time.....
