Lately, I have been in a creative black hole and unable to get myself started on anything. But at least yesterday I finally got myself out of my funk and started working on a new quilt!
One traditional quilt that I have always admired is the Irish Chain, so I decided that a scrappy Triple Irish Chain this would be easy enough to make with jelly roll strips. Here are some samples of where I am going:

I got these jelly rolls for $5.00 each on clearance and decided to do something with them.
Yesterday I sorted out my strips and started sewing them together. Here is my progress:
What are you working on today?

Happy Belated Birthday! I haven't purchased a jelly roll yet. I'm still waiting until I find one closer to the price you paid. They don't last until the clearance table in my area. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you!! I absolutely love the colors of your jelly rolls and what a bargain. Can't wait to see this come together.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I like the Irish Chain and made a triple in greens for my MIL's 80th a few yrs ago. It comes together quite quickly and easily and looks a million dollars. That's a great idea using already cut strips - I'm sure I have a jelly roll lurking somewhere in my stash!
