Happy Friday!!!
I have been working on my Jelly roll quilt and now!! it is in Top Form!!!
When I first posted about this quilt I thought I would get 42 blocks out of my Jelly roll - as I just assumed that a roll had 42 pieces in it - Imagine my surprise when I ended up with only 40 blocks!
One of you should have pointed out my math error. just sayin' .....
A trip down to the fabric area was required.... and then I got lost - and I think I have started 14 more projects... but!!! I did end up with 2 more 2 1/2 inch strips that I thought would work to fill the holes..
and now!!!!
Framed 9 Patch is all ready to quilt!!
You will note all three of my clamps? My Margarita ones had a hard time getting over the wood - the Flamingo did not - he was a rock star - but! There was also a construction clamp that wanted to get in on the action ..... Bwahh hahaha!!!
and now it is your turn!!
Show off what you did this week? What did you finish, make progress on, start? Show it off!!
Very pretty quilt! As for letting you know about the math error, we all knew you really wanted to go shopping, happy stitching!
ReplyDeletesuper and fun photo shoot
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun one! I love my quilt clamps, thanks to you I knew they existed. Mine aren't as cute as yours but you know. And sometimes you gotta go to the shop and raid the "manly" stuff. Mr. Busy's clamps were always busy and not so clean....so I invested in my own. Girls Rule!
ReplyDeleteThat final photo is fantastic!!! I love the open framework and sky behind the windblown quilt!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think every jelly roll is a bit different. I think I assume that they have 42 strips, too. No one will know that the blocks you added weren't meant to be part of the groping!
ReplyDeleteYay for happy endings! It looks great. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteIt seems it's very dangerous to go to your fabric area. Maybe spread some bread crumbs so you don't get lost.
ReplyDeletealycia, love your blog and all you share. i wanted to let you know that i mailed you a box of blocks from when you designed the half-square triangle blocks for q.o.v. i got twelve (12) made before my health went south. so i mailed them to you today. i'd be glad if you used them in the quilts for the lady marines in honor of my uncle who was a marine.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great finnish!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour post really had me laughing this time. You think any of us can do better at math? Not me, anyway. And I can relate to going down to get some fabric and ending up with lots more projects. (Often I even forget why I went down there!) The framed 9 patch quilt is great, congrats on a wonderful top.
ReplyDeleteI like the white corners in your block. Something to file away in my to do list. Glad you chose a plaid. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, love the plaid block - did it cost you a fortune for just those few pieces of fabric lol ? Gotta love those quilt stores. Take care.
