100th post

By
I started this blog almost 5 years ago on January 24, 2010. Wow! I can't believe its been that long. I haven't had a big presence on the internet but that wasn't my goal. I just wanted to post what I made. I haven't made a lot but I hope my 200th post happens less than 5 years from now. At least now my pictures are better but I think that's due to better software and my new phone.

I'm too busy working on a quilt to post my usual length. It's going OK. I'm in a "done is better than perfect" mindset.  I'll get a better picture later but here's a preview:

Have a great day! Happy sewing!

On page 7 is a picture tutorial and somewhere in there is a discussion of making different sizes and using different widths. She used to have a PDF printout for free but you could just print the first page.  Anyways, I used my JoAnn's, 20 strip jelly roll to try this out.  I wanted to also separate the strips by piecing squares in between them. I really like that look for this quilt so I chose a crazy scrap I had laying around and cut twenty 2 1/2 inch squares. The jelly roll had only ten different fabrics, 2 strips of each, so I pieced squares on one end of each strip. I should clarify, you need to piece strips ...
