When I saw this pattern in "Quilts and More", Winter 2010, I knew I had to make it. It uses 2 1/2" strips--perfect for a jelly roll. Since I had one yelling "USE ME, USE ME", I took the challenge. I like the idea of using one color of fabrics for the pattern too. Might try that later.
I've almost gotten all the strips sewn together, but I had to stop to go to a quilting store sale (40% off bolts if you took it all). A great time to buy backings and also I found some small yardage of batiks. Well, I also found a couple of other pieces too.....hey, I saved 40%, remember?!!!
Now it's ready to get ready for the Super Bowl party at my house.
My husband and I are not big football fans, but I love a reason to eat party snacks so my daughter and her family are coming over for the evening. Should be fun! This is a big game and I don't care who wins, but I am in a quilting "pool" where I signed five squares in hopes of winning 100 fat quarters. The problem is they haven't filled the squares yet (the store is still open) so I don't know what scores I need to send my "mojo" to. You know I believe it doesn't hurt to think real hard on those scores. LOL
So tomorrow I will finish the top of my Line Art quilt top. Oklahoma is suppose to have ANOTHER snowstorm on Wednesday so that will definitely be a good day for sewing if I can't get it done before then.
