I quilted my Jelly Girl on Monday, bound it and Tuesday and took it to quilt group on Wednesday. The fabric I used was for the backing and binding. This quilt used two jelly rolls and 83 blocks instead of one jelly roll and 39 blocks that the pattern called for.  So if it is a bigger quilt should it still be Jelly GIRL? Should it be Jelly Lady, or Jelly Woman instead? Just wondering.

I did most of the quilting freehand. It was fun and very fast.

I used a panto for the borders and that worked quilt well.

I quilted loops in the triangles and "smiles" in the hexagons to accentuate the blades to give it a spinning feel. 

I did work on more circles. I basted 500 and pressed 300. I figure I have only 75 more to baste and 325 to press. This coming week my quilt group is having a daytime quilt retreat for three days. We will not be spending the nights but getting together for the days. It is in a location we have never been before. It should prove interesting. I am planning on working on the DWR. (I have made the DWR my project of the month.) Hopefully I will have fun pictures to post.

I hope you all have a great week sewing and busting that stash.
