Here is Madeira, with all its borders finally on. This quilt top was fun to make because of the special cutting of the triangle sections. There are a a lot of bias edges though, and the quilt top doesn’t want to lay very flat. It is a bit rumply. My friend who is a machine quilter is confident that the rumples will “quilt out” as she says.
The fabric is Madeira by Blackbird Designs for Moda and the pattern is Jelly Roll Junction from the Anka’s Treasures book “On A Roll”. It was fun to make, and calls for only one jelly roll! I used two of them though because I wanted more choices in my color placement.
I have been thinking about how much it is going to cost me to get all these quilt tops that I finished this summer quilted. All I can say is that it’s a good thing I got a job!

Beautiful quilt Nicole! I think it might be time for you to get a Handiquilter! I tried one out last week, and boy what fun! Have fun with Minnie and Mickey and I’m happy for you that the job came through! Gosh, how lucky for them!
It’s sooo pretty! My, but you have really been busy this summer! :o)
The quilt is gorgeous, Nicole. Have you considered how much that job is going to cut into your quilting time? (Just me, being devil’s advocate.)
I LOVE THIS QUILT (en anglais S.V.P.)
MAIS JE NE CONNAIS PAS LA TECHNIQUE?? JE LE TROUVE VRAIMENT TRES TRES BEAU
ENCORE FELICITATIONS NICOLE
P.S. NE REPRENEZ PAS UN JOB NICOLE CAR QU ALLONS NOUS DEVENIR SANS VOUS ET TOUS VOS MAILS SI AGREABLES
A BIENTOT

Another gorgeous quilt, Nicole! I can’t believe how many quilt tops you have made this summer!
My DH is constantly reminding me that he wants to put my long arm quilter “on retainer” ~ as he smiles and ducks. Cannot imagine how excited you’ll be as these start coming back to you quilted… so much to look forward to!
What an elegant looking quilt. I know you just have to be very pleased with the effect.
What a great design. I’m becoming more and more fascinated with strip triangle shapes . . . gonna have to try one on for size real soon.
How beautiful is this!!!!!
Great work as always :o)

Another beautiful quilt top! You have such a great color selection :o)
It’s been so fun to watch your progress with my pattern! I’m glad to see you finished – despite the bias. It’s one of those that is worth it in the end. I also enjoyed seeing your version of Citrus Punch. Keep up the great work.
Cool pattern. 🙂 Nifty.
Wow I love this quilt! I can’t beleive that it only took 2 jelly rolls!I’m a sucker for Blackbird Designs!
What’s next on the list?
Another lovely finish!
First thing I do every Friday: log on while I start breakfast, so I can see your new beautiful quilt top!
Love the quilt!!! And your right…………you’ve got alot of them to get quilted!!!
Beautiful, Nicole! I’m going to miss all the wonderful Friday finishes once you start working full time. But I can’t wait to see how you choose to quilt each of them.

Another beautiful quilt from you! I’m just glad someone is making somethin’.
If you truly need/want it to lay flat before it makes it to a quilter, spread it out as it wants to be (as flat as can be without stretching or fussing) on a tile/linoleum floor and spritz with water until damp-ish. Don’t touch until it’s completely dry. I’ve seen C-cup bubbles (an oxymoron, I know) disappear with this method.
Good luck with the new job!
Another beautiful quilt!
It is one good thing that you got this new job now to pay for all this quilting to be done! If you keep this up, you might have to get a second job!
the pattern perfectly displays the fabric line
Wow! What a stunning quilt!
Pssst, I know a great longarm quilter who just got a beautiful little Jack Russell puppy named Sophie, hop over to my blog and see what we have been up to…… Love your quilts and yes there is absolutely nothing better than home….
wow, I love that quilt. It looks flat enough to me! The colors and fabrics are just the best. What a great job.
