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!
