I found this pattern on Moda Bake Shop. I used a Simplicity jelly roll I'd had for awhile. Had to change the dimensions a little, but it worked out OK. This one will go in my sewing room, where I've used Simplicity fabrics on the window curtain and on a wallhanging.

I love the braided look. You did such a nice job. Love the colors of your quilt.

Thats so pretty - a good job well done.
How many JR's did it take oh yes & BTW what size did it turn out.

Ideal colours for a girly. :wink: Pass it over this way please :lol:

I'm so drawn to the fabric. You did an excellent job on the braid.

Love it!!!! Gorgeous fabrics!!!! So do we get to see a picture of your sewing room to see how it looks with the curtains? :wink: :D

I love your quilt! The pattern is great!

Ducky 06-16-2009 01:32 PM

Did that take only one jelly roll? How was it piecing it together? I bought 2 Sultry (Moda) jelly rolls to make that same quilt. I just love the way it looks. You did a wonderful job on it.

I'm with you on this one. Anything angled or braided just wants to stump me.

Here's the link for the pattern:

http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/01/...ect-sheet.html

It was really very easy to make. Don't be afraid to try it! I wound up taking one row off the width because it made the proportion strange. It's almost perfectly square, a lap size, I think. I think I probably should have trimmed each row to be narrower, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I used just one jelly roll and supplemented with just a couple fabrics of my own (like the border fabrics).

Thanks for all your comments. There were times I was ready to just put this one in the WIP drawer and forget about it. If I can do it, ANYBODY can!

For Melissa, here are some pics of the curtain and the wallhanging in my sewing room. Sorry, the window pic came out kind of dark!

Thank you Harmony!!!! :D Very pretty!!! Is that a treadle I spy in front of the window?? Does it have a story to it? :wink:

amma 06-16-2009 06:44 PM

Adriane 06-16-2009 06:50 PM

The braid look is so cool! I want to try to conquer it next!

Beautiful color combinations, and the braid look is really nice.

No, it's not a treadle. It's the desk that my parents have had in their home ever since I can remember--dark maple, I think, and I was never crazy about it. When my dad died I moved my mom to a retirement home closer to me and she didn't have room for the desk, so I took it home and painted it white and put some new knobs on it, and now I love it!

Rose Marie 06-17-2009 08:08 AM

So pretty. My favorite colors. Good job.

KittyGram 06-17-2009 10:22 AM

Your quilt is beautiful! I love the braided pattern! I'm still undecided, but it's one of my choices for my own quilt, whenever it might get started!!!

Quilt4u 06-17-2009 10:33 AM

Wow!!! Beautiful.

Diane007 11-23-2012 06:17 AM
