This jelly roll race quilt made with a Kona Dark jelly roll was a quick quilting fix for me so I'm going to stick with the name -- Quick Fix. :)
It's very much like my Mod 1600 so that we could have coordinating family room quilts for TV watching.
I straight-line quilted every 1/2" from the seams using Aurifil 1158 on the front and Coats & Clark white on the back. Unlike Mod 1600 though, I didn't do any diagonal quilting and I used Kona Charcoal for the binding.
It's backed with IKEA Numbers. Still have a lot left of that fabric on my bolt... :)
Finished size is 49" by 66".
Some interesting colour combinations caught my eye:
Simple and straightforward. A good way to start 2015.
Do you mean a first finish for 2015, or did we go back in time? lol :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect quilting choice! I don't think I've seen one of these in a solid before. I like it!
I see you decided TI flip one of the yellows - it worked out well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish! I like the switch of yellows.
ReplyDeleteTurned out fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteMay be a quick finish, but beautiful. I lov th color combinations.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish. The quilting is such a compliment to the simple design. And the yellow? Not only does he look comfortable - He looks downright happy! Beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteAha - you did move one yellow then! I wasn't sure it mattered but now I can see what you meant - looks perfect now! Lynne.
ReplyDeleteI love a quick finish! I finally used a stash of batik (very different for me) strips using a super simple pattern! Your quilt is gorgeous...solids are my favorite! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is really fun. I don't think I've ever seen one done in all solids before. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteNice quick fix...I do like it better this way. Love all the colours!
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish! The dark colors contrast so nicely with your winter photo shoot, and I love how the top thread looks like a different color in each of your close up shots.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love both the front and the back - I love that Ikea fabric every time I see it and I love the way it pairs with this quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love these colors in the Jelly Roll Race! My first Jelly Roll Race quilt isn't even done being quilted yet as it was my first attempt at free motion quilting and that was not working. Ha! These colors are gorgeous together and especially for winter! Yet I think in the sun during the summer time will really be bright and cheery... very versatile!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what a tiny little change can do to a quilt. The colors in this quilt are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI really like those dark colours and the way you've quilted it! Gorgeous first finish of the year :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE these color combos. Amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou may be starting the year "simple and straightforward", but I bet your output will be way more complex before the year is over.
ReplyDeleteI love the backing you chose for this rainbow quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is neat! I've never done a jelly roll race quilt because they don't appeal to me. But I really like how this one and your Mod 1600 turned out. Very striking without being garish or "hyper".
ReplyDeleteI've never done a jelly roll race quilt, but I quite like this one. Maybe it's the solids taking some of the 'crazy' out so it just looks calmer and prettier. Great finish!
