A good sewing day........

It was still hot and humid yesterday so I had a good inside day and sewed.  I did the 2 stars and more triangle squares at night but I worked on another of the Jelly Roll Race quilts earlier in the day.  Let me clear up that I would never make one out of a Jelly Roll; that is just the name that got tacked onto the procedure.  I prefer cutting strips from my own fabrics for my projects.  I also prefer a straight seam for the joining which resembles hardwood floor planks (like I did in the one I showed yesterday) rather than the diagonal seam suggested in the video. The one I worked on today is made of 73 three inch wide strips with a spacer block sewn between the 45" strips.  It is all floral fabrics and the spacer is green.  I sewed the spacers onto every strip, sewed the strips into one big long strip and then sewed the first seam.  That took 2 hours and 10 minutes.  Now I have 4 more seams to sew at the sew in today.  Hopefully I'll have a photo for you tomorrow.  It should finish at about 80" x 103".

So far I am just working with strips that I had cut previously that were stored in plastic boxes.  I have 2 empty boxes now.  I have many full boxes of strips of various types of fabric....
