I'm sharing a finish today!
I love this quilt! It turned out to be a great lap quilt size, about 49.5" by 62.5". I won the jelly roll from Jill Finley at the end of last year as a giveaway on her blog, Jillily Studio.
I quilted it with vines and leaves mimicking one of the motifs from one of the prints.
The back is an older fabric purchased from the sale corner at my LQS several years ago.
I will be donating this quilt to the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS. I read about this organization on a blog I follow - Subversive Stitchers: Women Armed with Needles. (Isn't this a great name?!) The specific post about the Hopes and Dreams Challenge is here. Dawn's husband is also battling ALS. She hasn't been posting very often lately but when she does I always pop over to check it out. I don't even really want to imagine what living with ALS is like for her and her husband and their family! So I'm making a quilt. I hope that it brings comfort to someone.

You are the best! Thanks so much for your compassion and hard work and most of all for the QUILT! It will indeed bring comfort and I know Kathy will be pleased to receive it. It will have a good and caring home. Thanks so much! And I'm so glad you enjoy Subversive Stitchers. {{{hugs}}
Awesome finish, Lynn!!! Your quilting is just fantastic!!! I love the design you chose!
I love the jelly roll quilt! None of the ones I've made have come from actual jelly rolls, but rather 2 1/2" strips - the more strips you have, the bigger your quilt is, so you just end up with a bigger quilt or you can cut it in half to have two! I've also got one going where I started with 3" strips, so it'll be bigger in a different way. :)
Great quilt! Love your quilting design too. Love your big heat too!
Nice job, and you even labeled it.
Looks just wonderful!!
Wonderful quilt !! and a very worthy cause you're donating to!
I love how this quilt turned out! The colors are great, and I love that little bit of black in there. Way to go! Your quilting is really fantastic, too!
