Jelly Roll
 

Well, when I started this I really wanted to try the jelly roll race quilt Loved the colors but was really not enjoying the big mess of fabric piled up (I'm quirky like that) Sooooo, when I had gotten so far I just quit.
Figured I would just cut it in half add a small border to each and be done. Then the "other me" (I'm a Gemini) thought it looked too plain. So I appliqued a few things. Still need to add the border on each plus will be adding some ric rac. NOW I'm excited and can't wait to finish these!!
Since this was just half the jelly roll I will end up with 4 baby quilts from one jelly roll :)

They came out great!

Those are really pretty. I like adding my own touch to quilt patterns also. Thanks for sharing.

I love how you did that. Fellow Gemini here, I get it ;-)

Well, your jelly roll turned to be the best I have ever seen. I too did the jelly roll race and did not like the results. I will cut mine up and use for smaller quilts. I like your creativity!

Both are real pretty.

Pretty little things! Great fabrics, and your appliques are a lovely addition!

I also was going to cut mine in half but with others helping with some more ideas I did what I did ,but , seeing it on line I still see something that I can do to improve it even more will post when done , Love yours its beautiful soft colours and the embellishments adds to them. good job.

Love it!
Feels good to create something only to come up with a better idea!! :thumbup:

...too cute! I love your little bird....how creative you are----thanks for sharing.

You did a great job, it's really cute.

Good thing you're a Gemini, 'cause the "other you" had a great idea! The extras make it so very special ...

You are very creative. Thanks for giving us ideas in how to make a so-so project come alive. Love the Ladybug. Hugs

very nice quilt blocks

Awesome!!!!! :)

nicely done... cute appliques

Sew darling!

I love what you did. you made it a work of art. you are very talented.

Me Gemini too! Love these and that's what I want to do with a jelly roll. Got the strips for Xmas 2011 (!) and plan to use some animal appliques on it/them.

Very sweet and I love, love, love your fabric choices.

Fantastic idea! Love the applique - it adds so much more interest!

They are very nice.

You're very creative. What a great idea for baby quilts.

I'm so glad to see you did this! It's cute. :)

I've always felt that these jelly roll races and 1600 quilts were only half done, that the piecing was merely the background for more work that should come on top of it. They just scream for appliques, in my opinion.

Absolutely adorable!

I love your baby quilts! The fabrics are adorable.
What fabric line did you buy? I'd love to get a Jelly Roll of it also.

Cute! Really great idea.

OMG!! How cute can it get. Luv, luv, luv it.

These are adorable!

THe fabric is called "Petal" by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit

That is the sweetest thing!

I love the added touch to the quilt. Very nice.

Wow - great idea now we have 4vers and I love the applique! You sure took it up a notch or 2 or 4 :thumbup:

The jelly roll race has never appealed to me but these turned out really cute. I love your applique.

This is one of the best examples of "making lemonade out of lemons" I've ever seen. I love it!!! And, kudos on your creative mind - whichever one of you had this fantastic idea.

Love the colors and the adorable appliques. Did you design them yourself?

Nice quilt.

these are so cute. what a great idea for a baby quilt and I love the addition of the appliques. Love the soft fabrics too!!

the applique makes them!!!
