Another Jelly Roll Race quilt has joined the growing pile of quilts I've made. Here is the beginning of the race, which is rather messy, but oh-so-colorful.
I raced and raced until I had the top pieced. Look at how those colors just pop when put together.
I quilted it with a kind of sharp stipple. At some points it looks like feathers. I used a four-color Superior thread for the top thread. Have I mentioned how awesome this stuff is?
Here you can see the (mostly finished) quilt. Binding will be done sometime in the next couple weeks. Great television-time project.
I tried to get a good shot of the quilting. I'm not sure how this looks on your monitor, but I do know it looks great in person.
Because this isn't a small quilt (around 50" x 60") I had to piece the back. I couldn't not use the red flannel. I should just buy a bolt of the stuff. I use it often enough.
See, from the back it looks almost like feathers.
The stitching is perfect for this quilt. I will have to try to put some swirls in there next time, mix it up a little. Now, to find a name for this one.
What I'm listening to in my sewing suite:
Escape Pod. Science fiction podcast that keeps me entertained. Highly recommended!
