Some Catch Up

Yesterday I led our Jelly Roll Stroll at my local quilt group. This is one of the samples I made ahead of time, and it has actually been quilted now and needs binding.

With about 3 hours of sewing, most people got all their strips together end to end and did the first fold. There were a few that used only half a jelly roll and got it completely sewn together into a baby sized top.

This is the other sample I had available.

Both are about 50 by 60, give or take a few inches each way. Made from 1 jelly roll and the top one also has 39 squares added in.

I started a new scrap quilt, not something I needed to do. I have so many projects going currently.

And, I brought this lovely lady home with me a few nights ago, gifted by one of my daughter’s friends. It belonged to her grandmother and is one year younger than I am. It is headed to the shop today to get freshened up as no one has sewn with it in decades. It is in pristine condition though. I can’t wait to start sewing on her!

I am still working on getting 150 little stars made (see below) but haven’t counted lately so no idea how far behind I am.
