The third Saturday of every September has been declared National Sew a Jelly Roll Day! In 2023, it was September 16th. My sister and I have a tradition of sewing together on that day, using the same pattern, different fabrics. This year we chose Jelly Roll Twist, a free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop!
I pieced together 15 fat quarters for the back. These are from a bundle given to me by Rose of @SomethingRoseMade and is a line designed by Nancy Zieman in 2016 called Garnet. 
Interesting Info: I bought this jelly roll during a visit to Missouri Star Quilt Co.--it was the deal of the day for under $20!!! Snowberry arrived in shops in June, 2017, so I probably bought it during a visit to MSQC in August, 2017!

Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20

The pattern calls for 34 jelly roll strips. I used more, as long as the strips didn't blend into the background squares of Grunge Creme. I made 6 extra blocks and made my quilt one row longer than the pattern.

Super cute prints!!!
It took awhile to get these done, with Christmas rolling around and my broken wrist. But I'm glad to say we've both finished our National Sew a Jelly Roll quilt for 2023, and are looking ahead to the next jelly roll day on September 21, 2024!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

They're both lovely quilts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts, love the loopy leaf quilting on the last one.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun finishes to remember Jelly Roll Sew day and how cool to share the event with your sister! That bonus quilt is super sweet!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThose are both wonderful quilts, Nancy! I like the jelly roll twist design, and seeing the fun prints in your two different jelly rolls. You do such pretty quilting, too! Fun that you got some bonus mini quilts out of your fabric, too!
ReplyDeleteNone of my sisters quilt (or sew for that matter) so I think your sewing time with your sister is extra special! These quilts are fun! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts, you and Bonnie made beautiful quilts, I love these prints! Your quilting is elegant as always, those flowers, butterflies, leaves and swirls have a pleasant Spring air about them, perfect for these cute quilts!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing ;)
What a wonderful tradition you and your sister have. It is so nice to have a loved one that you can share the joy of quilting with. Both quilts are gorgeous. Enjoy your day, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteYou two have so much fun sewing together - and both quilts are so pretty (and what great deals on the jellyrolls!). The Perham shop is a favorite of my SIL - we go when I'm up there to visit her.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of quilting together on a special day like National Sew a Jelly Roll Day. I think I'll check with my quilting buddy to see if we want to do it over Face Time. Unfortunately we don't live close any more. As usual, I am intrigued with one of your quilting designs -- Lovely Loops. It's soft and pretty but not flowers. Now to see if I even have a jelly roll.
ReplyDeleteI love these quilts and that you and Bonnie both purchased them on sale. I love your pieced backing and that the backing fabric came from Rose and works perfectly with that collection. I am glad that you are back to quilting...these injuries are no fun recuperating from!
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are so pretty! Hooray for your finishes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to have a special sewing day with your sister. And the quilts are a bonus. Great finishes with both fabrics. I like the idea of making the quilt a row longer. And your backing works really well, too.

These are both fantastic, Nancy! Do you know, I've never sewn a jelly roll race quilt! LOL Thanks for sharing with Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteI just love both quilts! The quilting designs are just gorgeous! Thanks for joining in on Monday this and That and I hope you had a great week! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tradition Nancy! Lovely finishes! Thx for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your wrist is better! These are both lovely. Great fabric choices, and of course your quilting motifs are perfect for each! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2024/03/06/wednesday-wait-loss-370
