This quilt has been in the works for years.
I knew I wanted to make it when I first saw the pattern in this book
I loved the name as well as the design. Yogi and BooBoo were a part of my childhood and I can't help thinking of them and laughing at their antics when I recall the name of this quilt.
This is hands down my favorite quilt book from my favorite designer. Carrie - you are a genius! I bought this book in 2015 and started pulling fabrics from my stash for this quilt immediately. I'd cut and add fabrics from time to time
Every stitch was a joy - I just love these fabrics
Jackie quilted fun leaves across it - always adding her perfect magic touch
The backing is a $4.50 find from the clearance section
at a wonderful little quilt shop called Front Porch Quilts in Benjamin, Texas:
I can always find something in my stash for bindings and this print made the cut to finish off this happy, scrappy quilt.
I love Autumn and I was surprised this was the first Fall quilt I made and, in my world, Fall quilts in February are perfectly acceptable.
😉 The day I took these pictures, it was 70°, but this morning it was 12° with a stiff breeze blowing:
The setting desert sun made this quilt positively glow:
But the earlier shots give a truer depiction of the colors. Jellystone finishes at 77"x92" and I'm so tickled to have it finished! From the first stich to the last - it was such fun!

Beautiful fabrics, great design, great fall colors: it all worked together to make a beautiful quilt
This quilt is on my want-to-make list too. I hope mine turns out as well as yours.
I LOVE it!! And the backing..what a perfect pairing. I love almost everything about autumn (except for the fact that it is followed by winter-UGH!).
Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo were part of my childhood too! (….in black and white, of course!) This quilt is gorgeous. Amazing how it does glow in the desert sun! All the fabrics and colors work together so beautifully.
Congratulations! It's gorgeous. I too love fall and have yet to make a fall quilt. ;^)
It’s a beautiful quilt!
Great finish! I love Carrie's patterns too.
Love it, Karin! I have that book and need to look through it again!!
What absolute fun! It’s so good to read a happy blog post. So many are focused on pointing out the pattern maker’s errors.
I, too, love Carrie Nelson and her patterns, and your autumn tones are just gorgeous.
It's beautiful, as are your photos of it. Love that border! And what a perfect backing!
I've been to that shop in Benjamin. Very nice. Love the quilt and you chose the perfect fabrics.
Love that quilt! The colors, the pattern, the backing, the binding. Just lovely.
Oh so very pretty!
those blocks are so cool!!!
What a gorgeous, warm and inviting quilt. And I really love how it looks in the sunset!
Your quilt is wonderful! I made this pattern a few years ago and would make it again - it was such an enjoyable quilt to make.
