Stumble It!
Two years ago I purchased a couple of jelly rolls (for your non-quilters those are rolls of fabric strips) with every intention of making a quilt for Valentine's Day...well, it didn't happen...nor did it happen the next year...but finally, after two years of waiting, my quilt is done!
This is a super simple pattern - even though it looks difficult. It's called Merry-Go-Round by American Jane Patterns for Moda. The pattern called for 3 jelly rolls...naturally, I didn't have the right amount...I only had TWO! So I made a few "adjustments"...had to use every bit of scrap that I had left to finish this quilt - so it's not perfect, but then it IS my quilt...see if you can spot them!
This isn't a very big quilt - it measures 54 x 60 inches - just big enough to snuggle in with Baby Max...
Speaking of Baby Max...he gets to come to Gramma's house at the end of the month! I'm so excited - I've been on a buying spree getting all the things he'll require so his stay will be more than satisfactory! (Hot Wheels, alphabet blocks, kiddy spoons, animal crackers, sippy cups, etc.)
I'm very impressed! Especially with the binding! Good work, Nan, good work!

Nan! That is just wonderful. Love it. I might have to try something like that after I finish about five other projects that are waiting for me. And what a fabulous picture of baby Max! I bet you are not excited or anything for him to come.
