Jelly Roll 18 and Stars is a Top!! and!! Finished (or not) Friday!

Happy Friday!!!

Are you ready for a time change? I don't know if I like it darker in the morning, or getting darker earlier in the evening. Either way  - I don't like dark, and I can't convince the sun to stay out longer!! I wish I could - but we are getting shorter days of light each day....

So it was time to bring out a BRIGHT quilt and get it topped!! Bright colors sure do make dark better - right?


I just love this one - its the Jelly Roll 18 (google it , its a free pattern) and my Happy Half Square project block 3 (under the tab above)  .    

I loved it so much - we have made these blocks for our QOV's - and I HAVE to get them finished!! I got one QOV top done... Must....... keep....... Quilting.....



And of course - the obligatory Dog Photos - Pound puppy there ( in the middle) Loves to get in on the action too!! She is just a little sweetheart... and loves to do what her big Sisters are doing...



Bella... oh Bella - she sees the camera come out, and she gets all demure ... has to look away haha!!


That is my Finish for this week!! Who is all Dressed up for Halloween - which is also today?  We have a Trick or treat thing in town that we are going to to hand out candy. No one comes to us. Which is probably good - I don't have to worry about gates being left open!!!

Share your Finished ( or not) Blog post with us!!! I love seeing what you are all up to. 

and if anyone can help me find more time in the day... give me the *How tos!!*


I just realized the graphic I am using says 2024.... and 2026 is breathing down my back... Oops haha!!

  2. I love the scrappy fabrics in that quilt, so pretty. Bella is just being one of those aloof models who gives you her profile. Have fun handing out candy!

  4. I'm not a big fan of this dark time of the year either, no matter whether it's in the morning or evening! I will miss the longer daylight. But I am a fan of your quilt to - I like how you combined the stars with the jelly roll blocks! Happy Friday and Happy Halloween!

  6. Oh goodness, worrying about gates being left open would be stressful, so I'm glad you have an event to go to that you can hand out candy at instead. The quilt top looks great and I personally prefer it light in the evenings... ah well.

  7. I've made that free design but the way you added in alternate blocks really spices it up - LOVE it and adding the puppies really makes it a happy post. No trick or treat at our house - we head to Young Man's as they live in a neighborhood hit by every child living downtown and it's an all hands on deck situation.

  11. I love your bright flimsy finish! I too like the light. I'm never ready for this time change and I'm already looking forward to when we will have longer days!

  13. I'm with you on the dislike of the dark, but I just want standard time, no change thank you. I an obsessed with your girlies, and somehow I've missed Pound Puppy, but she's fitting right in, posing like a princess. Bella - my heart, she's the queen princess imho! Cool jellyroll quilt - will check it out as I have about four rolls languishing in the cupboard...

  14. You always get the most amazing photos with the doggies. You need to publish a calendar, Alycia! The three Amigos.

  15. I like your new top! No trick or treaters here, I miss those youngsters in their costumes. I am with you I hate the dark. When someone tells you how to get more time in our day let me know, LOL.

  17. A very bright and fun finish! I'm with you on time change, it just seems we get more dark, but I guess that happens anyway. Hope the trick or treating went well.
