Thank you very much.
The Moda white JRs come in three tones, Milk, Sugar, and Wheat. |
Love the quilt! Can you tell me what the difference between a jelly roll and a honey bun is? How much do they usually run? I have never bought a bundle of fabric before.
Thanks Anna |
A jelly roll is 2 1/2" wide strips by the width of the fabric (WOF). A honey bun is 1 1/2" wide by WOF.
A honey bun costs $23 and jelly rolls are $35 at Fat Quarter Shop. You can get them for less like on eBay ranging from $25 to $30 or so for a jellly roll on But It Now. Can bid on them for less. I saw honey buns from $12 to $22. I look at a bunch of places online all the time and sometimes you can find really good deals. Fat Quarter Shop has good sales sometimes like a Harmony JR for $21, a Sultry HB for $16, etc. |
Beautiful work as always Pam. Love them both.

I think it's gorgeous! I love jelly rolls--they take half the work out of making a quilt, and there's so many things you can do with them!

You're welcome. It is perfect for a log cabin but I have also made one with a jelly roll. It IS so much quicker!! Especially using this method, no cutting at all other than cutting each block off the strip.

That is a beautiful use of color and pattern.

Your quilt is so pretty- as is your room! Is your whole house decorated that nice? I love it!
Also, I have seen jelly rolls and the like for pretty cheap on Etsy. I paid $15 for a Moda one once. |

Thank you. :-)
Several of the rooms in the house are done but not all. I did that room after my daughter moved out. I got the paint for the living room, hallway and stairway but when I put it on the wall it was very yellow. It was supposed to be beige. Decided to use it in that room and what goes with yellow? Black and White. I did the panel moulding myself on all the walls and over a month or two kept my eye out for black and white accessories. Got the chair for $50 and painted it white and re-covered the seat. I made the headboard from scraps of wood and some plywood. Got the tables for $30, the lamps were $10, the artwork is posters and I had gold frames that I painted matte black. The drapes were $18 at Walmart. This is the family room and living room. The only other room done upstairs really is my bedroom and it's just a restful beige and white with touches of blue and brown. |
Love your quilt top & pillow!! :D
You always make such lovely things. Thank you for sharing with all of us. :D :D :D :D :D |
Pam, I love your fabric choices ... the quilt and pillow are fabulous.
thanks for sharing warm quilt hugs, sue |
Oh Pam, love the quilt, love the pillow and I really like the pics of your lovely home....could you please send your housekeeper this direction? Do you actually live there? Where are the dirty socks???
|
Since I live alone and hardly make a mess, almost never cook, I don't need a housekeeper since my daughter and grandchildren moved out. :wink: The dirty socks are all hidden away in rolling hampers in the closet (or on the laundry room floor).
My office is a mess and the sewing room gets to be a mess while working on something. I usually straighten it up before starting a new project. |
Beautiful job Pam!! Love the colors and your designer pillow is so 'cool'!
|
How many Jelly Rolls did you use to make it? I love the colors.
|
This took one jelly roll of Nature's Chorus and 1/2 of a jelly roll of Moda Sugar. I had used the other half in another quilt.
|
very pretty quilt... nice
|
I must buy that pattern book. I love it. Maybe Jo Ann's today with my coupon.
|
WOW - Just lovely, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
These are really awesome after looking at that pillow all I could think of is how great it would look as a window dressing to complete the set. Great Job
