RSC15 week 23

JELLY ROLL JUNKIE COMES CLEAN!

The picture tells the truth. I have to confess that I have been giving in to Jellyroll sales for a couple of years now.  It started quite innocently with one Project Linus quilt and I was hooked.  Until now I have not really sorted out my stash.  I found enough strips for a dozen or more quilts, not to mention all my charm packs, layer cakes, fat quarters and saved and free fabric. 

I have two projects at present involving aqua, teal and blues, namely the June RSC15 blocks and the rainbow quilt.  Those colors alone make a pile about 10 inches tall, not to mention all the other colors and prints. Just trying to pick out the best strips for each project has taken so long, maybe because I just love looking at them.  But finally the three groups in front are the ones that have made the cut so far.  The middle row is for the Rainbow challenge.

That's enough hard work for now.  See you next week.


I link up with RSC15 and Sew Cute Tuesday.

  8. You apparently have trained your strips well to stay stacked instead of becoming spaghetti. The blues/aquas are going to make a great bookend for the warm colors in the middle of your rainbow quilt.
