Bit of Quilting

The Splish Splash baby quilt has been done for a few weeks.  I’ve been waiting for sunshine and a quilt holder handy at the same time to photo.

For this quilt I used a Jelly roll. 
A jelly roll is fun and easy to use as the roll is 2.5 inch strips of all the prints in a fabric collection.

The pattern “Half Hexie” came from the Missouri Star Quilt Company which has some fun on line U tube videos for all levels of quilting.  Lots of older traditional patterns but also a collection of newer updated styles…a bit of something for every taste.  It’s been a few years since I’ve seriously quilted so the videos have been a good reminder and I’ve picked up a few tricks to speed things up.
 
We are into the second day of spring break & its snowing!  Last year at this time we were having a heat wave of over 80 degrees and rooting through quickly digging out summer clothes.  Today we are pulling on mittens…Go figure!

  2. Sweet baby quilt! Very spring-time colors which is what we all need to see this time of year.

    I can hardly believe all the areas that are getting late snows this year. Wonder how our summer is going to turn out.

    Glad you're getting in some quilting time. I'd love to do the same but we're still knee-deep in our cleaning/spiffing up mode. (But that's good, too, since it's needed!)
