Here are 2 Jolee quilts, both started on February 15, 2025, during the Jolee Live Quilt Along!!!
Quilt Info #1:
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!
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
ReplyDeleteAll three of you gals did fabulous work. I still get amazed every time you post minkee backing showing the quilting detail!
ReplyDeleteI 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!

The quilts are so pretty and festive!
ReplyDeleteNice finishes on the customer quilts. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! Your customers must love picking up their quilts as each one you share is so special.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteLove seeing these versions of Jolee! I don't blame you for not trimming the minky! I love the pantographs, and that rose one is just perfect for that quilt!
ReplyDeleteI just love how that Christmas quilting design looks on the Minky backing! Each of these is beautiful as usual.
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are beautiful! I love the rose quilting pattern, very elegant and romantic, it fits so perfectly Bonnie's quilt. Love the joyful Lynn's quilt too, and you can't be wrong with poinsettia and berries when it comes to Christmas themes ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful work, and linking up!
There's nothing like a good GE Designs QAL, sorry I missed that one! The two recently quilted and the one you made are all beautiful and so different. the mark of a good quilt design. But oh that red Minkee backing on the Grinch quilt, that's a wowsa! Love the texture created when you use that as a backing.
ReplyDeleteThat red minky with the quilting is just beautiful! I really love your quilting on both quilts. Daryl~ patchouli.moon.studio at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - plus!! when you trim minkee it shrinks'!!! haha
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty quilts.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! The Grinch one makes me want to pull out my Christmas fabric! LOL
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful Jolee finishes. I love how different each one looks. The Grinch fabric is so much fun and your quilting is superb.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely quilts. As always, it is great to see the same design made with different fabrics. Both are delightful.
ReplyDeleteI hate using Minky for the same reason you don't trim them. All that fuzz!! The Christmas panto is especially cute.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. I love all three of your quilts. I really love the Grinch fabric with the Christmas panto. Great job! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
