TONGA JELLY ROLL RACE BY REBECCA LATHAM

I was shopping at The Fabric Center in Morris, Illinois, looking for fabric to make a quilt for my soon-to-be-born grand niece. I found this collection of 2.5" strips - Timeless Treasures Tonga Treasures "Vineyard" and thought it had fun colors. Spoiler alert: After I finished it, it did not look like a kid quilt, so I went back and got a different collection, which I will post about later.

 

I bought the border, binding, and flannel backing fabric at a JoAnn Fabric and Craft Store.

 

The finished size of the quilt is 57" X 68".

 

 

 

 

 

I used Pellon cotton batting, also purchased from JoAnn. The digital quilting design is called "Merrily" and I purchased it from Anne Bright Designs. The thread I used was YLI cotton in "Light Brown". 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some photos of the making of the quilt.

 

And here is the finished quilt.

 

Here is a short video of the quilt being digitally quilted with my Tin Lizzie Ansley 26 quilting machine and Butler Perfect Stitch computerized system. Maximize the screen to maximize your viewing pleasure!

 

 

So now I have an extra quilt which is for sale for $275.00. If you are interested in purchasing this beautiful quilt, you can contact me.
