Persimmon Jelly Roll

 60 x 70

Moda Persimmon Jelly Roll was used to make this gorgeous quilt.  I used the whole jelly roll plus a little textured tan scraps to make this quilt 1 row bigger.  You can find the original pattern here. I'm glad I did as it works fine even with an even row pattern.  You know a pattern that takes 2 rows to complete it.  Well, this quilt is 6 x 7.  I think it works in this case because the fabrics aren't too bright.



I had to redo 2 blocks with the navy print because it stood out too much.  It was the blocks with the larger corner pieces.  But I did leave in the blocks with the navy diagonal.  They don't stand out too much.


The cutting of the jelly roll lends itself to leftover pieces, which I used on the back to extend this wide fabric to fit the quilt. I love to add color to the back.
