Valentine Quilt...Or not...

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.)
