Jolee x 2

Here are 2 Jolee quilts, both started on February 15, 2025, during the Jolee Live Quilt Along!!!
Quilt Info #1:
Maker: Lynn
Pattern: Jolee from GE Designs
Size: 65" x 81"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Cardinal
Pantograph: Christmas ⤵️ from Dastardly Quilt Studio
This Christmas pantograph includes poinsettia flowers, holly leaves and berries!⤴️⤵️
Lynn chose Grinch fabric for a boy who loves the movie!!!
A minkee backing is perfect for Christmas in Minnesota!
I normally trim the batting and backing 1/8" from the edge at no extra charge for my clients, except when it comes to minkee. I think you can imagine why--trimming minkee is a big fuzzy mess! Plus, the quilt maker might want to turn the minkee backing to the front for a soft self-binding, in which case one needs to trim at 1 1/2" or more.
Quilt Info #2:
Maker: Bonnie
Pattern: Jolee from GE Designs
Size: 66" x 81"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Select
Thread: Glide--Tango
Pantograph: Mackintosh Rose ⤵️
Bonnie used a fabric line called "Fable" by Jill Finley from Riley Blake Designs, featuring coral, green and grey/black prints!
I was inspired by the rose in the black print ⤵️ to quilt this with the Mackintosh Rose pantograph. They look very similar!
Cute whimsical animals are included in the pink and grey prints above--leaping deer, rabbits, quails, raccoons, bunnies, skunks, foxes and swans.
Such cute colors!!!
Wonderful Jolee finishes!!!

    Both quilts are quite pretty. I always love Christmas colors, and that minkee backing is so rich! I especially love the coral and green combo of the second one, and of course your quilting on both is spectacular. :D

    All three of you gals did fabulous work. I still get amazed every time you post minkee backing showing the quilting detail!

    I really like that Jolee design! Looks like it works well to highlight fun fabrics and prints. The Grinch quilt is just great! Pretty quilting, too, Nancy!
