Lizell this is stunning, can't believe it is your 1st. It looks beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing. Your Mom is going to love having it on "her bed", it looks so cozy.

I have not gotten into making quilts as yet !!!

Don't know when I will find time.

Thank you Chris!! The big quilt is the Bernina Latte Quilt, it really has some amazingly beautiful designs!

The Latte Quilt is lovely and you will enjoy it when it is finished - I never have - but have seen many that have been made up.

I am afraid, I don't know what a jelly roll is.Did you quilt by hand? It looks very nice, something you should be proud of._Toogie

1 comment
lizell by lizell 10 Apr 2012

Hi Toogie, thank you for your comments! A jelly roll consists of (usually) between 40 and 50 strips of fabric, about 2.5 inches wide, which is then cut down and sewn together any way you like!! I did the top quilting by machine and finished the binding off by hand.

Yes....my plan is to get someone with a long arm to do the quilting!! ;-). I'm working on a very large embroidered quilt but fortunately that one is quilt-as-you-go!!
