This first little wallhanging quilt is called a Tie-One-On quilt designed in celebration of National Quilting Day. It is a yellow ribbon quilt to honor those who are overseas fighting for our freedoms.
This quilt was made from a Bali Pop roll of Batik fabrics into the Trade Winds quilt pattern. These are all fabrics in earth tone colors.
This quilt was also put together with a jelly roll of fabric. The pattern name is called Jelly Stone.
This final quilt started out as a jelly roll also. The name of this pattern is Breaking Waves.
Jelly rolls and Bali Pops are great ways of getting a large variety of fabrics for a quilt that will all blend together nicely and they cost much less than trying to puchase a small amount of so many different fabrics would. These were my first jelly roll quilts and they are definitely less expensive to make. I've got 2 more Bali Pop kits waiting for me to decide what pattern I want to make with them. Ones all browns and tans and the other is all blues and greens. I can hardly wait to start on them.
As an update on my dogs, I had to take Ginger Belle to the vet today for her to be spayed. I've done little but think about it all day. I'll be glad to get her tonight. She's not used to being separated from me and I'm just a bit worried about her. She is now full grown at 9 1/2 pounds. Her hair is getting much longer now so I have to groom them about once a week. They are so much entertainment for us.
