On a "Jelly" Roll

One of the main reasons I decided to start this blog was to connect with other quilts and be able to link up with the fun linky parties going around in blog world.  So without further ado...my first link post!

This week I have completed my On the "Jelly" Roll quilt and pattern, which is my sixth pattern.  I wound up designing this pattern because I got a jelly roll of Oh Deer by Momo for Moda from my parents for Christmas and had no idea what to do with it for over half a year.  I came up with this pattern and loved how the blocks when put together for kind of an Irish chain and a star pattern.

You can make your own version of On a "Jelly" Roll.  The pattern is available in my pattern shop in both digital and print forms:

Here is a close-up of some of the blocks:

 

I was going to try to quilt the quilt differently in each section, but I decided that with all of the color and patterns going on in the quilt to use a simple overall meandering pattern. 

The back of the quilt is a gray cross-hatch pattern that was an on-sale sheet from Target.  This is the first time I have used a sheet as the backing and I really liked how it came out (no seams and low price).  I did not have any tension or skipped stitch problems.
