This panto, "Summer Solstice" was a freebie on the summer solstice this year, June 20, for all newsletter subscribers of
Tracey Pereira of Digital Longarm! Isn't this a super fun quilting design for this quilt?!!
I used some scrap strips leftover from an Angela Walters 108" print called "Drawn", for the binding of these two. I was glad to finally find a good use for those long leftover strips!
This is my 4th and last time to use this orange duvet cover for the back of a baby quilt. ⤴️ I still have enough to back a table runner.
Here's my jelly roll "drag race" quilt count for this year:
January 🩷: 2
February 💙: 5
March 💛: 2
April 🩵❤️: 4
May 💚: 3
June 🧡: 2
Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy on Saturday.

You have done a very good job with your scrappy race quilts this year. So fun to see all the different fabrics you have.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous quilts! I am bookmarking this post to remind myself that it is OK to NOT have everything perfectly matchy-matchy! Once your put all those fabrics together, the overall effect is just beautiful. Sometimes I dither way too much. I should just go with what I pick up and not think it to death!
ReplyDeleteYour orange scrappy race quilts are beautiful. The backing fabric and quilting designs are perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou always have the most spectacular quilting designs for your quilt- and they fit perfectly for the theme of the quilt- I just love that. These are the cutest. I do need to make a jelly roll quilt sometime. Have a wonderful weekend, Nancy. Happy quilting. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a jelly roll race quilt. My oh my, but you do tempt me! The quilting designs just make these sing that much more! Love the color, love the vibrancy! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat jelly roll race quilts, Nancy and I always love the pantos you use.
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of colourful baby quilts! I love orange! Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteCute and bright baby quilts, another two fabulous jelly roll patterns! Flowers and sun, perfect quilting designs for these sunny and joyful quilts! Bravo! Thank you for sharing them and linking up.
ReplyDeleteAren't those happy and fun?! I love how everything works together in quilts like these. Your duvet cover was perfect for the backings, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, your quilts are stunning! I’ve used IKEA duvet covers before too, but have never seen such a nice one (in the clearance section, anyway). Maybe it’s time to check out their regular section. Anyway, I love those quilting patterns too!
ReplyDeleteTwo great finishes! The panto with the circles and sun was my favorite. . .perfect for the color orange!!!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteYour drag race totals are amazing! Love these orange ones-so colorful but not overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteWell done, it's great to see your totals so far this year on these jelly roll baby quilts. You certainly are getting your money's worth out if that duvet cover. And I know I'm not the only one who has this type of quilt on my RSC list to do, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to be making jelly roll quilts for RSC....and so many! Well Done.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these jelly roll quilts. And you know what I think of the Ikea backings.
ReplyDeleteThat Daisy Daze pantograph looks wonderful.
Orange is not a colour I would normally have chosen for a single colour quilt, but these show me how incredibly effective that colour can be.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Look at you go! And go, and go! So impressive! Love those orange strips. I think I recognize an old Riley Blake rainbow zig-zag print that was always in my stash, once upon a time. Your pantos are good ones too. I always look at them closely, to see if I might reproduce them on my domestic - definitely not the first one, but perhaps the second one. That duvet cover has seen quite the use! Love that too. You're an all-around excellent qultmaker.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect pantograph to pair with the orange jelly roll race quilts this month; I love it when things synchronize and work out so well. I'm amazed at how many quilts you are making each month just for RSC. Thank you so much for linking up with Favorite Finish!
ReplyDeleteLove the backs of those quilts!!! LOL. Such pretty shoes of orange.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how great the duvet covers are as backings!! The jelly roll race quilts are just perfect for using up your strips - no matter what color you are using.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how fabulous these are turning out and how wonderful they will go to comfort someone. Summer Solstice is an awesome design...perfect for this quilt. The Karlee Porter is also great; hers are often too big for my dinky frame, and shrunk they get too close...but I love them.
ReplyDeleteWow! You have made so many Jelly Roll Race Quilts. I love the backing on this one. I love a good duvet cover as backings. especially like this one which is looking so vintage!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely quilts for charity. These orange ones are sure pretty. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

These are so bright and cheerful and I love that Daisy Daze motif! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely and that vibrant backing is just my cup of tea!
