My customers have been keeping me busy on the quilting machine this week.   Helen and her Mum brought in this Jelly Roll quilt which she has made for a kind friend.  It is a design from one of the first Pam Lintott Jelly Roll quilt pattern books.
The lovely soft, pastel colours were fabrics from a Moda Jelly Roll '30's Playtime' and with so many flower motifs all over the quilt we used this as the starting point for choosing a quilting design.

The digital pattern Helen chose was 'Ginger Flower' by Apricot Moon, which is always a popular one with my customers.  For the wadding we used Hobbs 100% Polydown which will be great for washing, and for the thread we used Magnifico 2169, Elegante.
Helen is a member of Celyn Quilters and they are having their 2016 exhibition in Newbridge, Wales, this weekend - do pop along, you should be able to see this lovely quilt in the flesh.
