Jelly Roll Race at 1 Choice 4 Quilting

What a fun time I've had today!

I participated in 1 Choice 4 Quilting's

"Jelly Roll Race"!

I started out by making my own 'jelly roll'.

I went into "The Fabric Shoppe" -

otherwise known as my stash,

and picked out 20 different fabrics.

Then I cut two 2.5" strips from each one.

I sorted them and stacked them up,

trying to make sure that the colors

were well mixed up.

Most of them were blues,

with a couple blue & yellows,

a some reds.

Once I started sewing them together,

following the directions,

I discovered that the colors moved on their own

and clumped together!

LOL

But I really like the way it came out:

This is going to be the perfect size

for a couch quilt.

In person, it's a LOT brighter than it looks in this picture,

but of course the sun went behind the clouds

and the wind came up just as I was ready to

take the pictures.

I think I might be making some more of these!
The sewing took me less than 2 hours,
and I'm not very speedy at the machine.  :D

Hope you're all having a fun weekend!
