Mainly pictures this post since today will be a running-around day! I did my first jelly roll "Race Quilt" in the "Loulouthi" fabrics (it was the only jelly roll I had on-hand). I have seen entries of ladies finishing the quilt top in 35-40 minutes, so I timed myself. I took 1 hour 15 minutes to finish this top, so I was happy with that time! I first laid out all the strips in the end-to-end placement:
And the finished top ended up this way:
Mr. Olive really liked the result! In addition, I bought borders and back fabric for a vintage feedsack quilt. I wanted to finish it up, but my batting wasn't big enough. I'm going to pick up batting today to get this one done next weekend:
I love love how it looks! The back fabric is a bright orange, yellow, and cream floral.
I also got two new tote bags completed and posted to Etsy:
This is the first time I've used fabric with a black base. I treated each side with Scotchguard.
I'm part-way through another quilt top, but not sure I'll get it done today...if so, I'll add pictures!
Happy Sunday!
