Jelly Roll Race Finished!
I finally finished this today after having it in progress for several years now. It is one of my first quilts and it was put away for a long time because my teacher moved. I pulled it out a few weeks ago and decided it would be my first quilt to finish with free motion quilting. I'm extremely pleased with the results. I struggled getting the quilting done because I quilted the first 1/3 of it just fine and then I started having thread break after thread break. I cleaned, re-threaded a hundred times, bought new needles, tried silicone spray on the top and thread. I finally bought Aurifil thread in a matching color. It took the combination of the spray, thread and needles to make it work. The batiks on this quilt were woven so tightly it was giving me fits. I can't tell you how very thrilled I am that it is finished and I am so happy to share it.
