BACK DONE

Got the back for Frolic done.  I don't like it, but it's done.

It's weird for me to make stuff with white or whitish fabrics.  Look at all those places where the quilting will show.  I used to get busy fabrics for the back, so the quilting wouldn't show.  Look at me go.

I used up the strips from the jelly roll that I didn't want to use on the front (because they didn't fit in and would have looked funny).

They look funny on the back, too.  Waste not...

I worked on the Mortar and Putty blocks, too.  I'm looking for a new name for that quilt.  

JELLY ROLL MESS

Oh my!  I think this is the first time I've worked with a Jelly Roll of fabrics.  My , my, they are messy.  There is just an abundance of little fibers from the edges that have been pinked.  It's everywhere!  

So, I bought this quilt kit a while ago and have been working on it lately.  The Jelly Roll strips need to be sewn into groups of four; I need 18 strip sets.

I had to run out to Pacific Fabrics yesterday to buy template material.  I needed some that I could iron for the circles that will go in the middle of the blocks, and just some regular, thick template for the wedges.

Once the strip sets are sewn together, they had to be ironed.  Then using the wedge template I made, I cut out six wedges from each strip set.

After I got the wedges all cut out, I quit for the day so I could go pick up the husband at the airport.
