I know I haven’t posted much lately. I’ve just been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Working extra hours at my day job, and then I started to clean my sewing room. Now I’m starting some throw pillows, trying to find room for my new cutting table, working on some new fun sewing projects for my day job, and just being an all around bad ass quilter. I also marathoned all 8 Harry Potter movies the other day… That was rather intense…
I know this took me forever, but after being sick there is just so much to catch up on. My sewing room looks like a bomb went off in it, and that bomb was filled with scraps of fabric, paper, and all sorts of sewing accoutrements. Hopefully I’ll be able to bind it, and launder it today, so it can be shipped out on Friday. I’m still trying to decide on whether to use one of the colors from inside the blocks, or to use the purple I used for sashing… Decisions, decisions… I’ll also be posting this design to my Etsy Page sometime in the near future. Wish me luck!
It took a while, but I finally picked out the sashing. I couldn’t decide on one, so I picked two. I think one of them is going to be the border. Not sure which one though. I’ll have to see. I decided to have the blocks spin in opposing directions, and I think that was wise a choice.
So, I wasn’t quite sure what to do for this quilt. I had wanted to do something with Jelly rolls for a while and figured I would cut my own and see what I can do. This design popped into my head around 4:30am and I just ran with it! I’m going to use some kind of sashing, but not sure on the color yet. What does everyone think?
It took me a while, but I finally got all the fabrics together and started cutting them for this amazing quilt! I’m super excited to start on it tonight. I can’t quite explain the design, but once I start it, I’ll post lots of pictures! Also, I think this is my first time using Jelly Roll size strips in a project. We’ll see how it turns out! Wish me luck!
