I've been sewing and sewing and sewing.....
Friends and I recently visited a nearby quilt shop and a sewing class was going on....We stopped in and discovered that the group was piecing a Moda jelly roll end-to-end (and without knowing the specific pattern) then it appeared they were recutting into strips to sew back together horizontally......Well, guess what! I don't have any jelly rolls, just fabric which I cut into 2 1/2" strips, all colors, all designs. Here you see my strips sewn end-to-end then sewn horizontally! It's 60" x 48" and ready to be quilted!
but my favorite is the vertical! This one is 70" x 55"....can't wait to get it quilted!
Half square triangles - started here - all quilted and bound.

Can you see me doing a Marty rendition of Elaine's happy dance! Moral - do not limit yourself to something you don't have ~ i.e. a jelly roll ~!
