This has been months in the making. This is the super fast jelly roll but it took a while to find the border and backing fabric. It came from 5 different parts of US. Thank you to everyone that helped me find the fabric. Also while I was waiting for it all to come in I started on other projects but finally put those to the side and finished this one. I quilted it on my tiny 6in arm machine so there isn't any fancy quilting. BTW I made matching pillow cases and curtains. I am not happy with the curtains so no pic's.
Thank you for looking.

Editing to say: I used wool for the batting that I bought at 2 different thrift shops costing me a total of $3.50.

hey, I like your new avatar! nice quilt and boy too ;-)

Thank you! :D

Love your new look and the quilt too. I have not gotten excited with the strip quilts, but Your's really nice. Love your color choices. I may have to rethink the "jelly roll".:)

You updated your avatar!! You look great! and the quilt too!!

GREAT JOB! Beautiful!

I love it!! The quilt....the little guy....and the new thinner avatar!!!

Nice quilt, nice model, but thought it waws a new mwmber, had to take a second look, and it is you!! Good job.

Awww! I'm blushing you all!! Thank you!

I like that strip look.

Yay it's finished! It looks really good, love those batiks. Oh and your model is definitely a cutie patootie, but he doesn't look really thrilled with the job.

He is a character these days. As soon as he saw me with the camera he jumped up wanting me to photograph him not the quilt.

I miss those days when my son would ham it up for the camera, or even smile! When he got to be about 8 or 9 he decided that was enough and he would just glare at me or turn around.

looking good girl!!! Nice quilt and of course, the little man, well, what needs to be said?

Very pretty, love it and your model too!

Looks good.

Pretty quilt, good job. I too like your new picture.

I'm on the bandwagon too - love the batiks, "little man" is getting not so little anymore :o) and the new you deserved a new avitar.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Little man is still cute as ever..hehehe
Love those batiks!!!! great job

Beautiful. I have been playing with the idea of doing a strip type piecing for a quilt and yours makes me want to do one more. I like your colors very much.

Terrific job....love it!!! I like your new avatar.....you're looking good!!!

Great job!!! The quilt looks wonderful and so do you!! I also thought you were a new member. Congrats on the weight loss!!!

Naw, littleman is still little, just a bit bigger, don't worry Mom!!
Love the quilt!!!! It came out great!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Your new pic is awesome!!! We are all proud of your weight loss- it's never easy!!! :)

Well Thank you all. I really didn't expect so many to notice my new avatar. I have had several PM's about it. This is sure to get me out of the slump I have been in for a couple of weeks. New motivation is exactly what I needed.

Great Job!!! Pretty quilt. Little man is a cutie!!

Nice job CJ, and as far as the quilting. I do the same thing. I don't have any fancy quilting machine. That's why I'm going to try the quilt as you go on the blocks I'm making. Love your little model, does he know his picture is all across the country? Love the colors too.....and love Batiks.

All he knows is that he gets to see his picture on the computer all the time. My 15yr. old son won't let me take pic's of him so no one knows what he looks like. LOL!

that's so adorable, love the quilt and your model! :)

And you look really great, you can certainly tell that you've lost a lot of weight! Congrats on your weight loss!

Inspires me to try a 'jelly' too!

I knew you had lost some weight!! You look 10 years younger! Way to go! Love the picture!
I love the quilt. Some of my favorite colors there!! It looks great! Good job on the quilt too!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D :D

Hey you did a beautiful job on you batik jelly roll quilt. I've seen so many of them & all so different. Batiks are my favorites. Keep up the good work & get back to your other projects, esp if they're for Christmas.

Great quilt Carrie.
