I finally got the quilt top all pieced. The pattern is called Strip Cocktail, and this took 2 jelly rolls plus some extra light fabrics. I was going to put a border on it, but now I’m thinking about just leaving it as is. Anyone care to give an opinion on that idea?

I don’t very often post about my son, Zack, because he’s older and does his own thing.

We had a very serious heart [...]

I’m almost finished with this quilt! I think I’ll give it to a special someone as a graduation gift. I still have to decide whether or not to put borders on it. It’ll depend on how big it is when it’s all together. The pattern I used is called Strip Cocktail.

Jelly Roll Quilts

Okay, so I jumped on the jelly roll bandwagon and bought two rolls with a pattern for them. The pattern said it would take two rolls, so of course, I thought I had enough fabric. NOT! As it turned out, I was short by about half of the amount of light fabrics that I needed, [...]
