On a roll......Jelly Roll, that is
 

I went to a quilt retreat this past weekend with guild friends and made this lap quilt, 56" x 67", for my aunt who is starting chemo. I used a pattern called Garden Trellis from Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott. It went together perfectly, even though it is considered a tube quilt and all the blocks had bias edges. I just starched the pieced strips heavily before cutting. I also used their tip of using a square ruler and marking a line with painters tape across from the 6 1/2" line on one side to the same mark on the opposite side, making my own 90 degree triangle template. The fabric is from Nancy Halvorsen's line called, Forever Spring, by Benartex. I hope she likes it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]414849[/ATTACH]

It looks very nice. I think it will be a great comfort to your aunt.

Beautiful quilt! I know your sister will appreciate it and will use it for her treatments. Those places are always kept so cold. (Which IMHO is better than too warm). I've just got to get with the program and purchase a jelly roll to make something like this. Thanks for the inspiration.

The colors in your quilt speak of comfort and love. Your aunt will feel both while she uses your quilt. God bless you for making it for her.

love it. beautiful and very comforting colors

Love it! I am usually not a big fan of jelly roll quilts but your pattern and colors are great. I am sure it will be used a lot and bring lots of comfort, prayers to you and your family.

Very pretty quilt! It will be a wonderful gift for her~ :)

Beautiful work!

I really like your quilt and am saving a jelly roll to make one too. Prayers for your Aunt, but she is already blessed to have a caring niece like you. God Bless.

Beautiful quilt and sure to bring your aunt comfort during her treatments. Prayers for her and family.

What a lovely quilt.... how thoughful of you to make that for your aunt. I would love to copy your idea but unfortunately there are so many books by Pam and Nicky Lintott I'm not sure which one has the pattern you used.
Would you mind giving a bit more info on the book you purchased? Thanks so much and best wishes for your aunts full recovery.

Wonderful job! That was very thoughtful of you :)

The book is actually titled Jelly Roll Quilts, the perfect guide to making the most of the latest strip rolls by Pam & Nicky Lintott, published by D & C (David and Charles) in 2008 On the cover is what I call a Friendship Braid with white borders and pastel colors over a quilt rack. Three jelly rolls are pictured in the lower left corner. The Garden Trellis pattern is on page 24. There is a telephone number listed to order and for US customers it is: 800-289-0963, in Canada 800-840-5220 They also have a website at www.davidandcharles.co.uk I am not in any way affiliated with any of these.

Very pretty, soft soothing colors.
