Another quilt
 

This quilt top took 2 hours and anyone who can sew a straight seam can make it!!!!

Google jelly roll race. It's fun, easy and cute.

The straight seam part lets me out. ;)

Lady, you are a sewing wonder! I love that design! Never seen anything quite like that.

It's beautiful! I have quilted a table runner but have not been brave enough to attempt anything more. Thanks so much for sharing!!

It seriously only took 2 hours!!!

Very pretty!

Love it!! I love jelly rolls!!!

That's beautiful!

That is awesome. After vacation, I'm gonna give quilting a try.

Love the colors and the design, it very different than what my mother had ever done.

Yes, there's no piecing, which is what your mom probably did.

This took precut strips and sewed them together end to end, creating one very long strip of fabric (roughly 1600 inches). This is then folded in half and sewn up one side, making the one strip into two. The process is repeated 5 times total until you get 32 strips, and a quilt top approximately 50x68.

I added some borders to it to make it bigger and will get some photos up.

Yes, pieces, pieces and more pieces. She had a quilters loom (?) set up in the middle of her kitchen for months at a time.

Nice, sounds easy !

Wow its so gorgeous and only 2 hours. You are the quilting queen woman!! :)

So she hand quilted!! Oh my gosh, I have so much respect for someone who can do that. My hands and arms (and shoulders and neck and back) couldn't do it. I don't have the strength I used to have.

I like the pieces, but I still machine sew and quilt. I have a quilting table and frame that I bought when I first for interested. It sat for 4 months before I used it because I was afraid to try. Free motion quilting is a little like moving the paper instead of the pen, and takes some getting used to, but obviously the results are gorgeous. I'm branching out, and have a list of things I want to try.
It took me forever to do triangles lol.

The jelly roll race quilt top is a class I taught for Joanns. We do classes on Wednesday mornings and had a few students who were finishing up the last quilt so we decided to use this quick and easy one as a filler.

I've started a quilt for my mom. She's seen the design, but not the colors. It's a little more complicated than just squares, but the overall effect is stunning!

The design is called periwinkle or "Arkansas snowflake"

It's triangles, comprised of a diamond shaped and two smaller triangles, then sewn together to create the large square. When the large squares are sewn together it creates this:

(Please note, the above quilt is not mine- it's an Internet image I googled to show the quilt)

I'm doing moms in a line called Paris flea market, very shabby chic, soft, romantic and very much her personality. It's a work in progress, so of course ill post photos when I'm done. I'm not doing anything else for the next 2 weeks while I focus on wedding vow renewal plans lol.

Yes, she did. She has done it all, I have baby blankets/quilts & knitted sweaters, that she make for my DD that I never used just so that I could preserve their beauty and all of the work that went into making them. She was and still is at the age of 72 actively doing her chosen craft, now and for the past 10 yrs or so it has been embroidery work. This women has an industrial size embroidery machine sitting in the middle of her kitchen. It was like out with the old and in with the New !! She is something else and I have learned so much from her.

I absolutelyLOVe the pattern and the colors you are doing for your mothers quilt, Beautiful !!
