Check it out, isn't it awesome??
I found this cute (mini) jellyroll of fabric at Hobby Lobby on Friday and knew that it would be perfect for this project. I say a mini because it only had 20 strips in it and so was about half the size that I normally see them in. If you are wondering, a jellyroll is made up of 2.5" strips of pre-cut fabric.
It's so much easier to work on something when it's already cut for you... right? :)
The original plan was to just sew each strip together and that would be the topper... but after I got all the strips together, it just looked too plain for me. I had to do something to mix it up a bit! So, i cut off a few inches worth and then cut a 2.5" strip of the solid white and stitched that in there - flipping the portion of the strips so that they didn't match up exactly on the other side.
I like it so much better this way... what do you think?
Now, I've just got to figure out what fabric I want to use for the backing and for the binding, then get Mom to help me put it all together... and quilt it of course :)
Yeah!
