About 3 years ago I ordered the jelly roll and 4 of the fabrics in yardage, one was 3 yards, the others just one. So when I decided to do this I didn't have enough of the 3 yard piece for the back so I decided to do it that way. I did some mis-measuring on the center piece so kinda flew by the seat of my pants towards the end. Hmmmm! Don't we all do that?!?!? I have absolutely no idea what the original plan for the fabric was. Since I am a new long arm quilter this was actually an experiment in whether I could actually pull it off or not. Now I am psyched to do more. Thanks everyone for all the compliments. I can't wait to see what it brings in. I told her it should bring in at least $150, hopefully a lot more than that.
