A quick quiltalong from Gudrun of GE Designs. I cut my fat quarters wrong but managed to salvage the quilt. Here is my temporary layout, but I know I’ll need to switch some squares around before I sew them together here are my fat quarters, then cut up
It’s been a couple weeks since my flurry of sewing, but I’m back in the sewing room. Remember when the jelly roll race quilt was a thing? I decided I wanted to do one again, it’s been years. I had a jelly roll of beautiful Williamsburg fabric by Windham Fabrics. A special place as I went to college there. So over two days I had a quilt top. But it’s missing something maybe a border, taken in the evening with poor lighting Will get a better picture with a border
Here’s the last square and here they are all together. Glad it’s over. Can put together and I even have the backing, a purple minky!
So fun to make! Just need 30 for the crib size. I used a jelly roll that’s been around for a long time. Utilizing the light strips too..
Here’s the top
The pattern calls for another 2-1/2” border but I don’t know what to use plus it’s big enough. I don’t remember the last one being this big. Bad news, my 15 year old Bernina 440QE apparently can’t be tuned up. I did think it would last forever or at least I hoped! It makes a horrific grinding noise and is quite sluggish. Just a matter of time before it’s done. That $3000 was the best money I’ve spent, tons of quilts made. Good thing I bought the singer 301 for a trusty backup cause I can’t afford a new machine. This is made with batik squares..
