Great blocks, Rosy. Really neat fabric--I've never seen some of those.

Finished Alabama, will stick with the same fabric theme. I will stop now and go do a little knitting with the puppies, they are waiting ...fabric does weird things sometimes. I cut very carefully and sew precise and yet I see a little pulling at the bottom. I will block that out tomorrow tho.....

OMGosh! Rosie, those are fantastic! If ya keep this up ya will get me inspired to finish mine. :)

Honchey I think I have some pict's of when I made one of my Jelly roll race quilts. It may take me a bit to get 'em all loaded.
Take a half Jelly Roll (20 to 24 strips) & 2 yards of a contrasting fabric cut into 2.5" strips. Join the jelly roll into a strip set by sewing all fo 'em end to end. Do the same for the contrasting fabric. [ATTACH=CONFIG]529200[/ATTACH] Cut 9 to 18 inches off the end of one of the strip sets. [ATTACH=CONFIG]529201[/ATTACH] (I have a more pict.s so stay tuned.) |

Put the 2 strip sets right sides together & sew all the way down the side. If ya were to put the 2 end together they would line up this way & we don't want the contrasting fabric to be sewn against itself. |

Find the center of the strip set & cut it. Then bring the bottom of one strip set to the top of the other set. See how the line up now? [ATTACH=CONFIG]529205[/ATTACH] |

Now sew down the sides of these 2 sets like before. It won't line up so cut this little bit off. [ATTACH=CONFIG]529207[/ATTACH] |

Cut the center again & sew the 2 new strip sets together again...
[ATTACH=CONFIG]529208[/ATTACH] & again... [ATTACH=CONFIG]529210[/ATTACH] & again... till it is a good quilt size. (If ya were to cut it one more time it will be too narrow.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]529211[/ATTACH] |
One end will have the contrasting strip & the other end will have the Jelly Roll strip. Take the Jelly roll strip off that end. (This way the 2 ends will have the contrasting fabric for a border.)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]529212[/ATTACH] Square the sides up. Then sew a 2.5" border strip down both sides. [ATTACH=CONFIG]529213[/ATTACH] Finished quilt! [ATTACH=CONFIG]529214[/ATTACH] |
