Regatta Quilt

Roseanne and Peggy had a sew-along yesterday with the Regatta pattern. The sew-along was announced November 10th and the date set for New Years Day, 2018. What a wonderful way to celebrate the start of a new year.

I've used a jelly roll I bought at Calico Point. They sell both regular jelly rolls and rolls they cut themselves. Since jelly roll is a copyrighted term, Calico Point calls the rolls they cut a Calico Whirl.


The roll I selected has blue and blue/gray fabrics, the white strips are cut from my bolt of Bella Snow. 

I started sewing the strips on Saturday and finished the flimsy today. I really like the colors. I'm normally a symmetrical person but decided to the arrange the values asymmetrically.

I usually take pictures on the clothesline but I just checked the weather channel to see what the temperature is; 2 degrees, wind chill factor -16 degrees. Sorry, no way am I going to take a picture outside.

This was a fun, simple pattern to sew. I will definitely use this pattern again.

  8. I really like the blue and grey combo of colors you used in this quilt. Reminds me of the deep blue sea.

  13. Hi Gretchen,
    This really turned out nicely! I hope it was as easy to put together as we all think it is! I think you are the quickest to get their flimsy together (not that it's a race!). Have you decided how you're going to quilt it? I just LOVE the colors and how you arranged them. ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. The quilting on the quilt that was displayed on your blog had way lines horizontally. I thought I would do something similar.

      I had decided I was NOT going to do this quilt until I had the binding sewn on the 4-patch quilt, which I completed. I had pulled this jelly roll right after I read your post in November, I knew this would be the perfect fabrics and it was! It probably won't get quilted soon but it will happen sometime this spring.

      This was a fun project. So many of my quilts are long term projects that take months, if not years.
