Jelly Roll Plus and Finished! ( or not) Friday!

 Welcome to the FIRST Finished ( or not) FRIDAY of the year!! Go us!!

I took over in 2019 and boy howdy have we seen some awesome Finishes!! Hopefully you keep being inspired to finish - or not finish something each week. I know that my bucket list has grown from checking all your blogs out!!

My First Finish - is the Quilting on this Jelly Roll Plus Rails quilt. It was made by Connie at our September Sew day. My goal was to get all 19 that we made quilted by Sept 2026... I think I am on a roll to do that..







As you can see - I forgot to trim it before its photo  - but the girls were ready to go fetch, and their patience was wearing thin - so I had to make the best use of  my time....


Isn't it a fun one tho! Also - By Posting it - it reminds me that I need to update my Free Pattern page...

and did you know - it has been 5 years since the last Happy  Half Square block was posted? That went quickly too - I wonder if I could make a new block project. Maybe it will come to me in my sleep!

Alright - it is now your turn!!



PLEASE LINK UP YOUR DIRECT BLOG POST - yep - I am emphasizing haha!! If you don't do the direct link - it leads to your blog and you may have posted 2-3 times before I get there... and then I get sad.

it would also be nice if you didn't link up other linkies - just a post about you ;-)

I love the fabrics in the rails quilt. Those pups have become the stars of your blog. I love the photos of them and can see the barely contained impatience - lol!

That is a neat design for a jelly roll, and a beautiful finish, Alycia! I have a jelly roll to use up and I'm always looking for jelly roll friendly ideas. Those girls of yours are looking like they're saying, "Enough of the quilt stuff, Mom, let's go play!"

Those girls were waiting almost patiently for the photo session to end and fetch to begin! They have to bring you joy every day! I like the quilting pattern you chose for the rail quilt!
