My Finish is a twin size Jelly Roll Railway quilt, begun exactly one year ago this week as part of last year's National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! Nothing like another NSAJRD {ha ha!} coming around to motivate one to finish the project from the year before!!
I considered adding gray triangles to an inner border to complete the gray squares on the edges but decided it would take too much mathy math and time. And I'm glad I didn't; I rather like the triangles; they look like ribbons folded over!
I was tickled to find the perfect Widescreen backing in blue by Carolyn Friedlander in my stash. I'd been hoarding it, so it was at the bottom of the extra-wide backing pile and not visible until I thumbed through the fabrics for a closer look. It's my all . time . favorite backing ever, and it also comes in the perfect gray that matches so many quilts I make. You'll find it in 15 colors over here.
Pattern: Jelly Roll Railway, a FREE pattern over here.
Size: 67" x 84", twin size
Fabric: Boundless Ombre and Kona White
Batting: Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 cotton/poly
Backing: Widescreen in blue by Carolyn Friedlander
Quilting: Hexies on Gratitude in white thread
This quilt is for sale in my Quilt Shop!
National Sew a Jelly Roll Day is Saturday, September 15th.
What are you planning on sewing on NSAJRD? I am planning on cutting into a very long hoarded {5 Years!!} California Girl jelly roll to make a Scrappy Patches quilt - if I can bear it! If I can't, I'll use an Island Batik 2.5" strip pack that I received as an Island Batik Ambassador.You'll save up to 40% off Jelly Rolls at Fat Quarter Shop through Sunday! It's a great time to stock up!

Awww thanks for the feature and plug to my Etsy, it put a smile on my face this morning:)
I've been thinking about that day tomorrow, didn't even finish the top I started last year! Love your quilt, and I agree, I like the triangles as they are to create that ribbon effect!
Very pretty! I love how those fabrics look in this pattern.
Thank you for the linky party. I've been trying to use up scraps before purchasing more fabric. I may have to consider your quilt if I ever reach my strips. Denise@fortheloveofgeese
Your quilt is beautiful, I love these fabrics! And your triangles are just the perfect shape for it. Beautiful gallery of featured quilts too!
Hi Myra! What a great finish for today. I just love the ombre fabrics - if this was a kit, I would snap one up in a minute. I suppose I could put my own kit together. I have to look at the pattern and see how much each fabric requires. I really LOVE this, and the QUILTING!! It looks like a ribbon too - just a perfect choice. I'm sure someone will snap this up quickly. ~smile~ Roseanne
Love your rainbow quilt! Fun use of a jelly roll. I probably will not be able to participate in the jelly roll a thon. I need to pack for a quilting retreat.
Happy National Jelly Roll Day! And I thought I was the only celebrating funky holidays. You're quilt looks awesome, and perfect for celebrating!
I love your Jelly Roll Railway quilt, but I looked for the pattern and there is nothing by that name. Could it be a different name. Or under one of the manufacturers?
Oh my, your Jelly Roll Railway quilt is a vision splendid. All those glorious hues blend seamlessly into each other. A most beautiful finish. Thank you so much for the opportunity to link up to your fun party.
I couldn't find the jelly roll pattern - it sure is wonderful
Your jelly roll quilt is so beautiful and inspiring. I don't usually purchase jelly rolls because I feel so limited, but this is amazing!
Gladyou finished it!! what a great quilt!
That is really an awesome-looking design, and I love the quilting! I always love to see your rainbow creations.
