Is the name of the lovely lap quilt I just finished quilting for a friend/client. It’s done in batiks with a flannel backing and is 60”x 76”.
The pattern may be found in the new Missouri Star Quilts magazine “Block”. The issue is their very first.
I think this self-published magazine (absolutely no ads!!!!!) is more of a soft-cover book than magazine with beautiful photos and wonderful step-by-step instructions w/ pictures to make sure you are following. The Jelly Roll Race 2 pattern is an easy variation on the first pattern.
The stitching motif is a scalloped leaf which echoed the “organic” feel of the fabric. 
A view of the border/backing.
Threads used were Aurifil Mako 50 wt. cotton with Connecting Threads Essential Pro Poly 70 wt (black) in the bobbin. Those threads “played well” together…..perfectly balanced tension!
Note: yes…….the sun is shining here finally!!!!!
It really turned out great and I love that the bits were broken up with the cornerstones. Nicely done.
Very pretty. I’ve seen a lot of those and some I like, some not so much. This color combination is really attractive, and the quilting works just right. Thanks for showing us. And YAY for sun!
This is definitely one of my favorite quilts of this type! This gal will be gifting it as a 60th wedding anniversary present!!!!!!! She did a beautiful piecing job!!!! I love doing her quilts!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that the weather is cooperating down your direction. Hugs……………..
I like this, thanks for sharing about the new magazine
I am so impressed with this publication and will be ordering a subscription very soon. Jenny Doan (MSQ) and her crew are doing a great job of promoting quilting. Their YouTube videos are awesome!!! So glad you ‘popped’ in!!!! Hugs………………….
So cool!!!!!
Isn’t it, though??? And a technique that most anyone can do to create a stunning quilt top in about a day!!!!!
I really really love the fabric and the color mix here. Just beautiful. So serene.
“Serene” is exactly the word!! A beautiful 60th wedding anniversary gift for my client’s friends. They will love it.
Saturday mornings PBS has 2 hours of quilting and yarn shows… Fons and Porter has had her on making that pattern (saw it the second time two weeks ago). I had an idea to try one (without the jelly roll – so, the hard way) after seeing the first one, but have not as of yet 🙂 See, I’m growing lol

Debby……I’m so proud of you!!!!!! Unless these “jelly rolls” are purchased on sale (or through a place like Connecting Threads) the fabric is somewhat premium priced. Cutting your own (#42) 2&1/2″ wide strips x width of fabric/44″ is much more to my liking, too!!!!!! Wisc. and MN public TV don’t carry F & P for us any longer (as of a couple of weeks ago!) Ugh!!!!!!
bummer – but you have Nancy in person.
there are two things to that for me. I don’t use a rotary cutter, and I use clothes. Used to be three with hand piecing. Since using the machine, I’ve started making some strips, but I don’t get a WOF.
I have done more than one piece by hand by marking the piece and tying off at each end then cutting. Took some extra work, but it was functional.
Smiles……..
I know that you can do the math so whatever totals the inches needed to make the strips will work. Actually, “upcycling”/using clothes would make for an awesomely interesting quilt!!!!!!
Ooh, I love what Jenny and the team get up to at Missouri Star – wonder if that mag will make its way Down Under?!
Good question. The price is so reasonable for a publication that’s w/o advertisements. I got this premier issue at a quilt shop but haven’t seen any others so I’m wondering if it will be subscription only!?! Jenny & company are the best!!!!!
Lovely colours, I also hope the mag makes its way to Oz
It appears it has to be ordered out of their on-line store:-( I hope they can work to change that for ya’ll!!!!
Looks lovely and yes I did see the “YouTube” presentation on this pattern. So pretty. I’m going to try that connecting threads 70 wt on backing soon as I like using Aurifil 50 wt. Great job of quilting.
Thank you, Friend!!! I have quite a bit of the Aurifil thread. It sews so beautifully……love the look…..but so much more lint than Isacord. The CT poly, 70wt, has been wonderful and super low/no lint!!!!
This jellyroll quilt is gorgeous! You picked the perfect accent color and it really ties the quilt together nicely. I’m a new quilter and I love BLOCK magazine – everything is really clear and they have tutorial videos for just about every pattern!
Hello, Cynthia!!!!!!! Sorry I didn’t get back with you before now (been ‘funnin’ in Austin, Texas). Please, stop by again and chat a bit!! Our Killer Bees quilt event is day after tomorrow (Friday) so am scrambling to get my demo pulled together. Photos to follow!!! Sending hugs………..
