Merry Go Round Quilt progress
This is the pattern I am using, fom McCall’s Quilting Oct. 2008, it is a little different from the pattern I first posted about. I didn’t know but there are at least three variations of this quilt, all by Sandy Klopp! The first one I showed uses three jelly rolls, which made a very large hexagon block, this one in the magazine uses two jelly rolls. And… this version you can see on PamKittyMorning’s blog uses one jelly roll, and one honey bun, I think, I love her fabric choices!! That is a lot in one breath!
There is a lot of sewing and cutting and pressing but I love this quilt. It is so bright and cheery!! I am excited to see it finished and bound. If you want to see this same quilt made and almost finished go here, Amy has made it and it is gorgeous, she’s really fast!! We both wanted to make this quilt and have done sort of a quilt-a-long, more like, we are working on the same quilt but at our own pace. We are thinking about another quilt-a-long and I think it is a fun way to make a quilt and be encouraged along the way. We will let you know as soon as we decide on a quilt and when we plan to begin and maybe you would like to join us, no pressure!!
It’s almost the weekend! Hope you have a great day and enjoy what ever you are doing!
I LOVE this quilt. I would really like to make one…….
Yum.
This is going to be a gorgeous quilt when finished! I love the fabrics you’ve chosen. 🙂
I love your Mary Engelbreit fabrics, they are so bright and happy! I’m looking forward to seeing your finished quilt 🙂
It’s beautiful Clara. I am so tempted by that pattern but I have a couple of things that need finishing up before I dare start anything new. Maybe then I’ll be ready to join your next quilt along with no quilt! LOL
Very cute! I love the way the ME fabrics look…maybe I need to break out my Jelly Roll too!
That fabric is gorgeous! What is it? Or is it the Merry Go Round of the title?
Oh such beautiful fabrics, it will be wonderful!

This will be too cute when it’s finished! 🙂
I adore this quilt! I have the ME fabric and the magazine. This is on my to make list for sure!

This quilt is going to be stunning! I love ME fabrics and have yet to own any. I need to put it on my list.

I kept that pattern from the magazine thinking I would make it one day. For now I will just watch you.

I’m forever mixing up my fabrics! I’m going to try your system. It looks like a winner!!

I love to use cherry fabric for the sashing and borders when quilting. Nice work. I LOVE this quilt.
