A Christmas Jelly Roll

My sister, Quilter Bonnie, made this adorable Christmas throw from a "BasicGrey" jelly roll. Don't you love the mint green in this?!!

I quilted it with "Just Curls", and Glide thread in gold:


Here's a close-up of the construction:

The backing is an extra-wide backing from Connecting Threads.



Beautiful quilt, Bon! Just in time to use for the Christmas season.

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  1. Perfect timing on both you and your sisters part. I love quilts that don't scream Christmas but are Christmas-this one is perfect for that.

  3. I agree with Vicki, this one is just Christmas enough without being too much. I think it must be the mint green that makes it fresh! Great job by both sisters :)

  4. Beautiful! I don't usually like Christmas colors ... but I like this one! I'm not sure how she managed it, but it's Christmas without being too Christmas. Gold thread is perfect touch!

  5. There's something about mint and me this year, so I am partial to the fabrics in this quilt as well as the jelly roll pattern. Such a pretty quilt and finished in time for the holiday. Your sister is very lucky to have a longarm quilter in the family.

  10. Hi Nancy,
    Your sister did a beautiful job on this quilt, and you did a beautiful job quilting it. The pattern and thread color you chose compliment that fabrics and pattern without overpowering it. It looks so nice and warm and comfy. Very snuggly. ~smile~ Roseanne

  12. I love it! I'm not really a fan of the traditional Christmas green and red, so the minty green in this really makes it for me.
