Chic n Scratch
It’s Labor Day weekend and I’m working on a quilt.
What are you up to?
I have a list of quilts I need to complete in time for Christmas and the one I’m working on today ….is for one of my nephews.
I hope it turns out okay ….I’m a tad worried …. The fabric is somewhat busy. But … that’s one of the cool things about a jelly roll quilt ….you never know what it’s going to look like until the very end.
See ya!
I’ve completed another Quilt Top!
This Jelly Roll Quilt is actually a Rolie Polie Quilt.
I purchased the fabric from Craftsy and the official name is …. Riley Blake Basic Variety Rolie Polies
It measures 53 x 63 and was made with two Rolie Polies. (Rolie Polie is 24 strips that measure 2.5 x 44.)
I made this quilt for my niece Cora and I’m working on Savanna’s next … it will be the same … just yellow instead of blue.
See ya!
I was going to post today that I was working on another quilt …. but … instead I’m sharing that I finished another quilt.
I started my Jelly Roll Quilt during dinner last night … and every time Dave went out to the garage I sat down and sewed a little. And then this morning … it just kept calling my name.
I have an Online Workshop tonight and I was planning on working on it after the event … but every time I went upstairs I kept seeing the pile of fabric in the corner of my dining room … and like I said it was just calling my name.
Here’s the details:
The picture below is the pile of fabric I started with last night.
One last picture of the Hello Darling Jelly Roll Quilt.
I’ll be taking it to my longarm quilter soon and when I get it back I’ll be sending it to my niece.
See ya!
I usually post my picture at the top and then tell you the story.
But today I’m doing it in reverse … because you have to hear the story.
I was all sure of myself that I had a fix to the quilt I thought was going to be brilliant.
Turns out it’s not so brilliant and I’m going to enlist help … but that’s not the story.
The story is ….. I was sewing, cutting fabric and watching the Royals game …. all at the same time.
And let me just say … Monday nights game was like watching the Playoffs ….. I literally was screaming and yelling … Chase had to remind me that he had company over …but what can I say I LOVE baseball and Monday night was one those games you’ll never forget!
Back to the quilt …..
I ran out of cream squares … so I cut more and got back to sewing …. I did not realize I had picked up the wrong fabric …until the quilt was completely done.
I’m not sure which family member will get this one …maybe I should keep it for myself to remind me of the Royals game.
When I posted it on Facebook someone had a great suggestion …. that I could just add some more lighter squares … making it look like it was on purpose. But … I’ve already bought the binding fabric and backing fabric … if I make it bigger … I’ll need to buy more fabric.
So … I’m going to leave it … and either give it to a nephew … or keep it for myself 🙂
You can never have too many quilts!!
See ya!
