::Quilt::

i did it.

i made a quilt.

then i gave it away.

for a good cause

but...

ouch, it stings.

i miss it.

i hope that the person who

ends up with it loves and appreciates it.

I used Camille Roskeley's

Ruby fabric collection.

i bought a jelly roll.

and then didn't know what to do with it.

so i googled and googled and googled

and googled.

many days went by.

i wanted a pattern that was

fast, simple

and didn't require purchasing

any additional fabric

or math or anything

too complicated for a tired,

overworked and underpaid momma.

did you take the picture yet, mama?

how 'bout now?

did i do a great job, mama?

i digress.

finally, i found the pattern for me.

it is easy, fast

and a no-brainer.

i will give you the deets

in another post,

but here's the gist.

trim the ends.

sew each strip end to end

so that you have one

looooooong strip.

when i was finished,

the entire strip was 1600 inches long.

(it started in my sewing room, went through

the master bedroom

through the hallway

and across my daughter's room.)

match the ends together

making sure there are not twists~very impotant!

it won't work if there are twists!

sew the two strips together.

when you get to the fold,

cut it open and finish sewing

to the end.

fold and repeat.

fold and repeat.

fold and repeat.

the back.

it's backing fabric

so there's no piecing involved.

Quilt it with Aunt T

on her long arm machine.

Machine bind it.

Voila.

I loved it.

I'm making another one with

this.

What do you think?

Would you try it?

Anyone?
