Jelly Roll Block # 2 .....


Yesterday the pattern for the second block in the Jelly Roll quilt-along was posted. This is a picture of the one I made once the pattern was posted. You might recall in my first block, I was wondering about the burgundy fabric, so I incorporated some of it in this block, too.The designer for this block was April Mazzoleni. (If you want further info, click on the jelly roll on my sidebar.) I posted my first block two weeks ago here....but will post it again (below) in case some of you didn't see it the first time. These are easy blocks and fun....and I love getting to use my jelly roll. This jelly roll is the Fig & Plum fabric line by Moda. Now to find a fabric that will be good for the sashing and borders...got one but don't like it with these fabrics now that I see two blocks completed. Oh, well...another excuse to get fabric. Sad, huh?? LOL

The first block in the jelly-roll quilt-along.....I think they will blend together better once we get more blocks done since I am using fabrics all from the same jelly roll except for the grayish fabric for my "background" fabric.

I reallly like the Jelly Roll that you picked for this project. I agree the red is a little "out there" for the pinks....will be interesting to see how they all come together! Love seeing everyone's blocks, thanks for sharing

I am hoping that the blocks all look good together. Mine look great separately so far. I discovered that making one block a a night keeps me very precise. Ha ha.

I think the dark burgundys are the finishing touch on these blocks!

Simone de Klerk said...

I like it! In color so different from the first one.

I really like your new block! I'm sure they will all look great together in the end. But if you have to go shopping, you have to go shopping.

it looks good and I like the contrast of the burgundy....good idea to put it in the second block too....it is going to be pretty!

Needled Mom said...

Wow!!! You are fast. It looks great.

I think this is going to be really pretty when it's finished. The burgundy will give it pop and looks to me like it will have a "Victorian" look to it.

Danielle said...

Very pretty, and they are perfect Spring colors. It very cool to see these all over blogland, and in the different colors~love yours.
