4/8 Posh Reveal

Back in October, Des and Corrie of Quilt Taffy had their quilt retreat and then showed off what they did there. Amongst many cute quilts were these Quick and Fast Jelly Roll Quilts. Des thought that maybe they could post instructions and photos, along the lines of a tutorial sometime before Christmas but those girls are very busy and it just didn't happen. Well turns out that Des is going to be teaching this quilt method to 17 gals at her church this Friday and she shared the link to the instructions with me. Looks like the instructions were originally from a Moda rep. I wonder why we've not seen this on the Moda Bakeshop.

I had to try it right then. I've had this POSH Jelly Roll for a very long time and although I did have other plans for it changing plans wasn't a deal breaker for me. You can't really plan where any of the prints are going to end up. Note the group of solids at the bottom of my quilt. The thing is, when I first sewed all my strips together I spaced out the solids. I did have an OOPS moment too. I was on the second 'fold and sew' portion and what did I see on my table??? Yup, a strip. It was hiding over with my Verna quilt, trying to blend in there so it didn't get used up. Worked too.

Not the best photo. I know. But I finished sewing the strips together after dark and what other choice did I have but to take a picture with flash?

Seriously, this is VERY quick and easy. If I didn't have to work and do laundry and cook and clean this would have been done to this point on Tuesday night! I'm not so sure that a single person in a small apartment could make this though. I had my hubby and son helping me and the strip reached from my sewing room door across the entire length of the house! Read the instructions and you will understand what I mean. I can see why it would be a great retreat project.

I have POSH fabric for a border but I think it needs a narrow solid border first and I will try to get that tomorrow. Unless I decide on no border at all. Ya gotta love a quilt that comes together so quickly. You really do! Let me know if you make one. Or more.

Praise - for the wonderful weather we get to experience. We have had more snow this week than the entire month of January! I love snow!

Prayers - we should hear SOMETHING on Friday regarding the property, prayers that it will be a GOOD something.
