I finished the quilting on the jelly roll waves quilt at the beginning of the month but I didn't manage to get around to the binding till this last weekend. Here she is.
It was pretty grey out when I took the photo but the quilt has enough colour to brighten up the sky. The Jelly Roll is
Betty's Luncheonette and the fabric is designed by Violet Craft. The designs remind me of the forties and fifties. You can see them on the leather seats of the luncheonette or on the tables or chairs, or maybe on curtains from the time.
When I was on my knees pin basting the quilt and looking at the starburst pattern that turns up in a lot of the prints I remembered the sparkler quilting design I had seen on Leanne's blog Devoted Quilter. You can see it here.
I quilted this quilt on my domestic sewing machine using white 50weight aurifil thread. The pattern for the quilt is Jelly Roll Waves by Myra of Busy Hands Quilts.
I had a lot of fun practicing my free motion quilting on this quilt. The stippling part of the design is definitely starting to flow a bit better.
I'm not sure what the batting is or the background fabric of colourful dots. I got each of these from our guild stash as I'm donating this quilt to our outreach program. This is my third finish for the 3rd quarter of the 2019 finish along. The original list is here. I'm linking up with the Jelly Roll Waves Quilt Along
on Myra's Blog and with Bragg About Your Beauties later in the week. I'm also linking with the 3rd Q FAL at She Can Quilt.

So pretty Lisa. This quilt is really nice.
This is such a cheery finish. I have no idea where September went.
Congratulations on this gorgeous finish! I love this one, the colors, the print, the movement ... yep, I really love this one. Great job Lisa. ;^)
It looks great. The colours are great. September was a write off for me. I think I posted twice. It's been a crazy month.
Such happy colors! Your Waves really turned out pretty and I can see that your stipple is getting smoother when I zoom in :) Congratulations on a fun finish for a good cause!
A pretty happy quilt sure to brighten someone's day.
Her pattern is so fun isn't it! I love your pretty colors you chose to use.
You have some very pretty fabrics that were perfect for this quilt and your free motion quilting is looking not too shabby either :-)
How fabulous! Nice work!
Hi Lisa! This sure is a pretty finish, and I'm certain that someone from your outreach program will just love it. That backing is just a perfect match for the colors on the front - you couldn't have picked a better one! And I love that blue binding as it really pulls that out. ~smile~ Roseanne
Loving how your quilt came together with the single color waves! That takes a bit more planning, and you pulled it off. Thanks for quilting along with us.
Love this! So much movement and wonderful color!
Love the happy colors! Enjoy your finish xo Melanie
