I had a couple hours downstairs in the sewing room today and got myself organized to start a RWB Rectangle quilt. I’m starting with a Jelly Roll but will end up adding strips from stash for more variety.
I have to give credit to Stephanie … Jelly Rolls were our March challenge and I’d already given up because I knew I couldn’t finish a top before the end of the month. She said the month wasn’t over and suggested I go with a RWB theme for our project.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to make a change but in this case she was right – it doesn’t matter if I don’t finish the top in March … I still had time to get started.
I finished 18 blocks today … still haven’t decided if I’m going to make 48 blocks and put a border on it or make 63 blocks and go without. Right now I’m leaning toward the border.
And there will be a Little Quilt from the leftover ends of the strip sets!
After my downstairs time, Keith got me out for a walk!
Pictures of you make me smile
Looking good Mary, both you and the blocks!
I love this pattern as I have 2 solid jelly rolls I’ve never knew what to make and several white jelly rolls. These look so easy for me. You are looking good Mary.
Looking trim and chipper, Mary. Out for a nice walk with Keith. Go girl.
You look great! Just a reminder to take it easy on yourself with what you accomplish. Treat yourself like you would treat a dear friend with kindness and remind her that she has been through a difficult time, because that is what you are too many of us.
Perfect day!
Yay for a good walk! I’m just getting back to regular exercise since my sprained ankle in December and my back problem from a month ago. I’ve really lost some leg strength in a few months!
What a lovely combination of fabrics Mary!
Looking wonderful Mary! I love those fabrics -do you know what line that is? I see the name Indiana on one square.
