Purples pinks "jelly roll style" scrappy quilt
 

The first time I saw someone post a jelly roll quilt, I thought...why not just use some of my 2.5" strips and sew them kind of randomly together, trim and make a scrappy one? (I started my quest to whittle down my scraps in 2011 and it is continuing to this day.) This is the purples/pinks one.

I am just working on finishing a bunch of quilt tops that I have--both charity ones and personal ones. (We tied 10 charity ones yesterday--had 6 helpers over here--my kids and their friends...)

Anyway, I am pleased. This one seems enormous to me. I am pleased with how it looks and it my first attempt at FMQ such a large one--and only 4th ever FMQing. I tried to not get too dense, as I like them kind of fluffy. Am using poly batting as that is all I have here in Poland. Have plenty of room for improvement, but am pleased since I am such a beginner at FMQ.

WOW - Just terrific, great job and thank you for sharing, love the colors
Have a Blessed day

I love it. I was just about ready to embark on my own jelly roll quilt challenge. I was thinking of FMQ as well, but I never quilted anything bigger than 30 cm x 30cm in free motion. As a matter of fact, I signed up for a class in FMQ to in hopes to learn some tips and tricks. Great patchwork, wonderful quilt!

Very nice and colorful good job

Lovely quilt, great colours

Oh it's so pretty. And from where I am your free motion quilting looks GREAT!

One of the prettier ones I've seen.

I like the colors (and placement of them) that you used.

I love it in purples and pinks, it's beautiful. Nice FMQ!!

Wonderful job.

I thought as you did , and used purple and green strips. I was so surprised how beautiful it turned out. I think I might quilt that one today!

Ohhh what a pretty quilt!!

great job....

Nice purple quilt..

Beautiful colors and your free motioning looks great! I'm just learning FMQ and it seems very daunting so I commend you!

It turned out sew pretty!

What a wonderful way to use your fabric. I love the colors, such a beautiful quilt.

Very impressive. I am new to quilting and just finished my first jelly roll quilt. I sure hope mine turns out half as good as yours.

I love it. Makes me want to start on one of my own. Thanks for sharing.

It is beautiful, you did a wonderful job!!!!!

Great finish! Love the colors and your quilting was great. (Far better than I could do!) Thanks for sharing.

Great job!

It IS beautiful... the colors are perfect! And your quilting looks fine to this gal! Great job!

That looks fabulous. You did such a great job. I wish I had your talent.

It looks beautiful! Love the colors!

So THAT'S what you do with jelly rolls...who knew? Nice job!

Nice job! Thank you for sharing.

Very nice, love the colors!

Great job on that. How nice that you make many charity quilts . I am amazed at your english too.

Love it! The colors are great!

very nice all over. Neat colour combo and the quilting looks great too. Carry on!

Thanks.

I teach English conversation on the side.

(I'm also complimented by people in other countries when I vacation with a group from Poland.) I smile and say "thank you" and SOMETIMES I tell them I'm an American; sometimes I just skip it. Two years ago my daughter and I were in Tunisia and a guy wouldn't believe that we were Americans. It was so funny. What could I say? I just shrugged my shoulders and told him he could believe what he wanted to believe but it was true--I even showed him my FL driver's license!

I haven't been too fond of the jelly roll quilts, but this one I like! :thumbup:

What a fabulous and quick way to use up those scraps of fabric. Color coordination is beautiful. Great job on the quilting too. I find it extremely hard to manipulate a large quilt and you did it well.

Wow! Terrific! The purples and pinks, along with the other colors make one beautiful quilt.

I think it looks great! Very pretty!

I soooo agree with you Blinokr. This is a great quilt!
