Marilyn's Jelly Girl Quilt

I fell in love with the Jelly Girl Pattern last year.  I made two and then taught a class to a couple of friends so they could fall in love with the pattern.  Marilyn brought her finished quilt to my shop for a show and tell.  It happened that Katrina, the other person who took the class was there too.  She helped Marilyn hold the quilt for show and tell.  

I convinced Marilyn to let me take her picture, she finally relented.

Isn't this a great quilt!!

Jelly Girl Finish

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of this quilt, really...I made it last year while on our winter travel vacation.  I fell in love with it and decided to teach it as a class at home in Petersburg.  I then used this quilt to practice quilting on my new Q20.  When I made it, I knew it would be the quilt for our bed in our 5th wheel, so there was an incentive to get it done.  I finished hand sewing the binding on our first day in the trailer and here it is on the bed.  I made the pillows several years ago and they go with the quilt.  I need blue or white pillowcases I think.

OMG November

This is my latest UFO, a Quilt of Valor for my son-in-law.  Joey served two tours in Afghanistan while in the Army.   I used the Jelly Girl pattern, designed by Joanna Figueroa for Fig Tree.  This pattern is made with 2.5" X 42" strips.  My goal is to finish this quilt by the end of November-at least the top.
