I was interested in a quilt Susan and Lynda made at Baradine, as you can see from Susan's blog we had a chat about the quilt and ended up giving each other a challenge to make a jelly roll quilt last night.
We had been out for the day here, longer than planned, so I was late getting organised, at 7.25pm I was here.
It took me a good three minutes to find the ends and make sure the fabric atrip was all straight.
The first row took 39 minutes and 5 seconds to sew..it felt like forever!!
The second row took27 mins and 36 seconds, the bobbin ran out part way through, thank goodness I had only sewn a short way.
The third row took 12 minutes and 50 seconds
The fourth 7 minutes and 25 seconds
The fifth 4 minutes.
By this time tired brain had set in!!
But I have a quilt top, the cream pieces didn't quite end up how I thought they might, but after a chat with Susan I now understand I should have cut off part of the first strip...we live and learn!!
Quilt top done just before 10 pm.
Thank you Susan for the challenge and for getting me motivated!
You can see Susan's beautiful bright top at her Blog.
And thank you Cheryll for hosting another enjoyable FNWF.
Happy stitching.
This looks great! I have a couple of jelly rolls that I have been "saving". Well done.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the cyber challenge....and I love the blues.....I’ll be keeping my eyes open for more jelly rolls now.
ReplyDeleteMy motto is that I can learn something from every quilt I make.
What a marathon task! Looks great. Niw I have been reminded of one I made years ago and was going to applique an Iris onto. Hmmmm must look for it now. These blogs keep reminding me of UFOs I have lol.
