School and life got intense so I had to put sewing aside 😢

I'm back in the saddle and I cut more Jawbreaker pieces and laid them out.

You Tube video for Jawbreaker is here.

This is not the direction in the pattern or video.

This is my piece after sewing the rows.

The top sewn together.
 
It looked so weird with the jagged edges that I wasn't afraid to trim it.

The trimmed top.

 I might trim it some more because this was just making it square. I've got a couple of weird bits where I was planning on trimming it more. It might also stay unique. This came out way better than I expected!

The next one is already cut out and I'm trimming the tips.

The quilt with two names

I've known about this quilt forever. I originally read about it on the Quilting Board way before I'd seen the Jelly Roll Race or the 1600 inch quilt. You can find the original post here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutorials-f10/super-fast-jelly-roll-quilt-t44258.html   I recommend you wade through it because there are a lot of nice examples. 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 ...
