A finish for 2016 jelly stars

It's finally finished binding found and sewn on and down woohoo! Isn't it great to get finishes before the new year.

Yum! Jelly Stars and Pickles

The Jelly Stars  is finally together and back from the quilter... Binding ready to put on but I have lost the border fabric that I was going to bind in... I'm sure it will turn up ...

I think they all think they had a part to play in making this quilt 

Quilted circles look perfect with this.

With the Pickledish I liked the look of the full piece of fabric in the middle inserts instead of the cut pieces having seams that do not always meet in the middle..  I think I need one more row before I put the border on?  What do you think a border or not?

I am quite pleased with the ease this jelly star quilt has come together..  An easy quick quilt with the look of difficulty.... The pickle dish was a fun quilt to make a lot of work but worth the effort...

Schools back, sewing is a go...JELLY STARS

Jelly stars...

Yeah school has gone back and today I got time to spend the afternoon sewing before school pickup..

The jelly stars have been started for a class project ..

Progress so far...

Start with a jelly roll and a bit about 60 strips of 2.5" strips.. Make your stars

Then sew stars together cut the background diamonds and wella. Stars galore...

This is fun as you don't know what you get unless you plan like crazy...  It is helpful to not have too many directional prints especially if they are not cut perfectly in your jelly roll.  You can however cut your own strips from your stash.. Along with a 60 degree ruler.

I hope the ladies enjoy this in class on Saturday. 

Until next time, thanks for visiting, happy stitching
