I don't know whether I was getting ahead of myself ( by making a quilt for a Christmas present) or procrastinating ( I should have been making samples using soluble fabrics ).
I had seen Valerie Nesbitt's video of a quilt in 40 minutes and thought I had time to spare.
Well, two lovely chatty phone calls, I was trying to still sew with the phone tucked between shoulder and ear, and two hours later I managed to finish it.
I used a jelly roll I purchased from Bee Crafty at the opening of their new shop on Tuesday. Wonderful Moda fabrics called Wintergreen collection. It is certainly Christmassy.
And now I will have to add to my shopping list for the Festival of quilts fabric for a border and the back. This list is getting longer by the day.
I don't think that I am the fastest machinist around so won't be entering any jelly roll races in the near future, but it is certainly a quick piecing method and will make a lovely present.
Have you made a jelly roll quilt?
