my girlfriend arrived Thursday afternoon..............
we always like to do crafty things with the girls.............something.............so after Fairy Girl made her jelly roll quilt last week she thought that maybe my girlfriends daughter may like to make one too..........
to help her out I joined all the ends.......
then she got to work and joined most of this quilt..........her Mum helped with the last bit..........
this is made from 48 strips and it is more square then rectangle like the normal jelly roll race quilt................

When my girl friend went to get the jelly roll for her daughter she found this one below................so she decided she would make one too...................
Rambling Rose by Sandy Gervais.............just beautiful..............even prettier in real life.............but it is a pre-release so the yardage is not out until October........gee that is annoying..........I wished they would release everything at once...............so we will have to wait until that comes out so she can put a border on her quilt.............
it's such a pretty range...............the colours are a bit closer here..........
it's been so nice having my girlfriend and kids to visit for a few days..........
Catch you later.............

Both quilts are really pretty always nice sewing with a friend.
Love the Sandy Gervais fabric. All the quilts look great. hugs.....
They are so effective. Have fun with your friend xx
Always nice to sew/quilt with company - I think I get more done that way.
It is such a great way to make a quilt. Maximum effect for minimum effort. They have both turned out beautifully. I saw a great version in black and white recently. Once it was stitched bright flowers were appliquéd onto it. A very effective variation.
Good times Chooky with good friends love those jelly roll quilts and great the girls are enjoying it as well. Lol Dory wouldn't let me get the ipad out on sat ,lol,she kept an eye on me,lol,we had a great time,relived lots of Nundle good times,lol.xx
The tops look lovely. Hugs, xx
Sewing with a friend makes any day wonderful. Isn't the jelly roll race fun.
Really love that fabric!! Very pretty, will have to keep an eye out for it:) nice to have someone to sew with too
My friend in Tasmania hadn't heard of the Jelly Roll Quilts, until I told her about them...now she is hooked on the idea and cuts the strips herself from left over fabric and just joins & joins!
Love that second lot of fabrics - very pretty
Aren't those jelly roll quilts "morish". Especially in between projects which take ages to finish, it's just so satisfying to quickly sew a quilt top. And sewing with a friend is even more special.
common threads bring us together for sure..your second one is lovely
They are a great way to get beginners hooked. I love hearing your stories of sewing with your daughter.
Lovely fabric..and what a great way to share your interests with your daughters..
looks like loads of fun. I love that Sandy Gervais fabric too - all lovely quilts.
Sewing with friends is the best - the only down side time fly's by way too quickly. Gorgeous fabrics ....
Lots of fun making these Lovely Jelly Roll Race quilt tops...
