The three main fabrics I had had in my stash for probably five and a half years waiting patiently to have something to use them on but the spotted binding fabric is a little newer.......probably two years old........lol!!!
All the main fabric was chopped up into two and a half inch strips and then sewn into one continuous strip before being folded, sewn and cut then repeated until you end up with a quilt top (if you Google Jelly Roll Quilts you can find lots of videos and instructions for making them). Mine is long and narrow as I want it as a shoulder quilt for when I am reading at night. The quilt top took me about an hour or so to make so it's very quick and easy.
I'm now on the lookout for some gorgeous fabric to make a sofa quilt for the winter when I am snuggling up to watch a film.
I'm getting a bit fed up of these low grey skies now. I'm not a big fan of summer but if it's meant to be summer then a least let's have a bit of sunshine eh? I hope we get some nice days from August 17th as my Doodle Bird is coming to spend a week with us and I am planning lots of outdoor things to do......days out and garden picnics and games. I can't wait.
Well I think I'll have half an hour browsing for some fabric and then I am off out to do the weekly shop with DD and maybe we'll grab a cheeky Starbucks while we are out........ I do love my Starbucks Coffee.
Thanks for stopping by.
