The pattern is Jelly Sandwich by Me and My Sister Designs. I used a Fresh Squeezed Jelly Roll. It is really bright and pretty. I'm not sure that this picture does it justice.
I forced myself to finish it because I really wanted to work on the Wee Spin quilt. It is similar to the Merry Go Round quilt pattern by American Jane, but it only has two rounds instead of three. I have to say, I got the Equilateral Triangle Rulers from American Jane, but I'm not real thrilled with them. I'd like for there to be some lines on them so that I could line up the strips to cut easier. While it's worked out okay, I just feel like it's not as exact as I'd like for it to be. Here's a bit of what I have so far.
The colors are different from the Fresh Squeezed, but I really love them. I got a couple more Jelly Rolls of American Jane Fabric - the Look and Learn fabric ones. I'm going to try the Merry Go Round quilt pattern with those. At least I think I am. We'll see how easy the Wee Spin goes together!
I'm officially pretty far behind AmandaJean's Quilt Along. I'm going to try to get caught up on that, too.
And let's remember, it is summer. I have one child taking summer school (to make next year easier), and two children at home. Making me feel guilty. Because we're not doing anything. Geez. So, my girls had each done (mostly on their own) flannel quilt tops. I got one of the tops (spray) basted and started quilting it. I'll get that done, and then get the other one basted. My youngest will (hopefully) want to quilt that one on her own. Well, she'll probably start, and then I'll "help" finish it. So I can stop feeling quite so guilty, right?

Love the Jelly Sandwich!
What a sensational Friday Finish! That is a great pattern, I will have to look for it. The long strips show off the fabric prints so nicely. Yea! Hurray for Michelle!

The Friday Finish is awesome. I have noticed that pattern and have been eyeing it. Great work!
The Jelly Sandwich is beautiful! I really like the look of it. Very hip looking. I've seen Nanette working on the Merry Go Round too. And seeing yours too... I'm itching to make it.
O.K. I'm in love with your blog! LOVE everything I'm seeing. Can't wait until I have more time to visit longer. ;o) I even like the little book shelf widgets! I've never seen those! Way cool. I hope to have free time this evening to look a little more and drool over all your beautiful projects. ~jodi
Hey Michelle- it's been so nice to see you around my blog again lately I thought it was about time to check up on yours and see if you've started posting again and you have! I'm glad you're blogging again.
That quilt looks so good. Just as soon as I get all the work hours I need to get and get into a rhythm again I hope to carve out some good quilting time.
the quilt top is so beautiful!
