Hi all,

I just finished yet another wedding quilt for one of my friends who is getting married this month!

I used a Moda jellyroll in the new "Nouveau" line, which was colorful, interesting and absolutely beautiful.

I started out by making blocks for a Roman Stripe quilt, but I played around with the layout and decided it looked better in diamond form. The strips of fabric at the top and bottom are scraps from cutting the blocks (I sewed the scraps together and cut them into strips). The backing was pieced and incorporated the four leftover jellyroll quilt strips, for visual interest.

I machine quilted in a diamond pattern in the white areas, echoing the diamond shapes. I quilted in the ditch for the colored diamond areas. I then washed and dried the quilt for a more "crinkly" effect.

It was a pretty easy quilt to make, and the jellyrolls were fun to use. The finished quilt is about 70" wide by 80" long.

I am sending out the quilt tomorrow, and I hope my friend enjoys it. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone! The lighting is strange in the photo, but the background is a small white-on-white leaf print. I just put the quilt in the mail today. On to the next project!

I love it! Beautiful and my kind of quilt.

What a great quilt!

I know it will be a big hit with them.

I am impressed with how far you managed to make one jelly roll go. The on point idea with extra fabric obviously helped to 'stretch' the roll to make a decent sized quilt. Good idea, and nice design.

Very pretty!

it looks fantastic. i love the border strips on the bottom and top.

How lovely! Backart makes it look like two quilts.

This is really pretty. I love the pieced back, too.

What a nice gift!
