Elaine's Jelly Roll Quilt

I've noticed a number of these Jelly Roll quilts coming in lately.  Hats off to the fabric designers and the companies putting these gorgeous fabrics together - making it a joy to put a beautiful quilt like Elaine's together without agonizing too much over fabric choices.

The quilting is freehand leaves/swirls, etc.  The batting used is Legacy 70/30 recycled and the thread a yummy 100% cotton variegated - Tutti by Wonderfil.

Elegant Christmas quilt by JoAnn

This elegant quilt came from a friend and guild member JoAnn.  The fabric is absolutely scrumptious and the metalics make it oh so classy. JoAnn made this quilt for her daughter and husband who live just outside of Calgary.

I did an allover freehand swirl with snowflakes using a gorgeous variegated thread (Mirage) by Wonderfil.
