TGIFF: Jelly Roll Friday

I love this quilt! I had so much fun asking for input on the layout, and apparently lots of Ruth's Stitchery customers love it too.

It's the first Friday of the month, and that means it's Jelly Roll Party day! Today's quilt has been hanging above the register at Ruth's, and I can't wait to get my hands on it again.


The pattern is "Yummy" by Jaybird quilts.


Back in February, I asked for your input on which layout to use. I settled on the one with "columns of colors," because I think it shows off the variations in the Kate Spain "daydream" collection best.

Here is a close up of the quilting, by Susan Santisteven of Modern Prairie Quilting. I told her I wanted it "just like the photo," and isn't it perfect? She even changed thread color for the sashing:


I adore the "Denyse Schmidt figure 8" pattern, and I'll definitely be asking Susan to quilt another modern quilt for me!

Linking up to "can I get a whoop whoop" at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.



As well as Thank Goodness it's Finished Friday, this week at Quokka Quilts.


And also Link a Finish Friday at Richard and Tanya Quilt:

LAFF - Richard and Tanya Quilts

Tomorrow is the Pueblo Quilt Expo, I'll be shopping for some goodies to share next Saturday Stash!

  1. What a cool pattern! Somehow I missed it when you asked for opinions, but I lovewhat you did with it!

    When I go to the Denver National Quilt Festival, I always tell myself NO MORE stash, but it never works. I hope you have fun in Pueblo and find lots of cool stuff!

  2. Deb, I read a "saying" from someone's grandma this Spring -- "It doesn't cost anything to keep!" In other words, you don't have to feed it, or clothe it, or send it to college! So go ahead and buy that fabric!
