Its Friday, its Friday....


and I have a completed quilt to share!




I made this quilt top on New Years eve-eve. Its a Nicey Jane Jelly Roll sewn and sewn and sewn and sewn and sewn. I have seen this called a Jelly Roll Race quilt because quilt groups stage races to see who completes it first. It is also called a 1600 quilt, because that is theoretically how long the first strip is after the jelly roll pieces are all sewn together. ... that sounds confusing, and its not, so you can check out the directions here.




I found the backing in my stash... I think it matches pretty well in mood and color. The binding was from my stash too, so I only had to buy thread for this quilt!


I am linking today to get a whoop at Sarah's linky party,


and at Amanda's Finish it up Friday too.

    Beautiful! Thanks for the explanation and link to the 1600 jelly roll race quilt. I saw it mentioned just today and had no idea what it was.

    Love this quilt and love the pattern! I have one sitting in the 'finished' closet just waiting to be quilted and bound. It really is super simple, took a tad longer than I had mentally calculated, but is a great way to spend the afternoon!

    Very cute! I'm sure I would not win a jelly roll race, because I'm more into comfort, not speed, LOL. But it does sounds like a great way to spend a day!

    I have seen the jelly roll race quilt on other blogs. It does make a great quilt.
