It's so fun! Thanks for posting the picture. I think a brown binding would look perfect with this top.

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to finish it, but time has been limited lately. And this weekend we have had company.


lol...Um she has been here for almost 8 years. ;) That is my baby Larry. Hubby found her when she was maybe 4 weeks old and covered in fleas. She has came a long way in 8 years.

Very pretty! Something I would like to make!

Please review the "jelly roll" concept for me: How many strips? And what are the dimensions of the finished "race" quilt?

Nice quilt.

If you use a full jelly roll there are 42 strips. The finished quilt ends up being approximately 50" x 64".

I have mad the calculations for using 20 or 24 strips. When you get down to around 120", you cut it into three equal pieces and end up with a baby or lap size quilt of around 48" x 30" I think.

Here is a link to the one I just finished up and added borders to.

Very pretty. I think you are on the right track - brown binding sounds good to me and orange on the back will make it easy to find (if it is lost, that is:-))

Love your quilt. I think I would do the aqua for the backing, but then that's one of my favorite colors! :D The brown binding is perfect in my opinion, and I think if it were me, I'd have to run an aqua or brown border around the outside just to frame it.

MaryLane, your quilt is beautiful. Those colors look like a wonderful sunrise or sunset!

How cute! And your inspector seems to approve, too. Hope you are on the way to a speedy recovery.

Its Beautiful, how big is ? Are you going to put any borders on it ?
