I have a lot of WIPs and UFOs so sometimes I need to do something that I can get finished relatively quickly for instant gratification. Jenny Doan's Jelly Roll Race is a perfect kind of project for when I'm feeling that way. I made this quilt using one Jelly Roll. I joined the ends like a bias binding strip and with the scraps that I cut off I made tiny half-square triangles that I used on the back. I didn't do much quilting at all. I just used one of my machine's wavy quilt designs but I used a pretty gold metallic on front and a darker purple on back. This is my go-to quilt pattern when someone asks me for a lap quilt but they want it quickly.

I bought this lovely fabric at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in Sisters, Oregon last year. The fabric is designed by Valori Wells, the founder of the Sisters Quilt show. It was a bucket list trip! I love the way you can make all different layouts using half-square triangles. Each variation makes a whole new quilt!
