I used this post as my basis, but I joined my strips at 45 degrees rather than at 90 degrees. Apparently joining the strips results in one strip 1600 inches long - it certainly look up loads of space on the sewing table. This part took about 35 minutes
I chopped 20 inches from one end, and then picked up the two ends and started sewing them together. That took about 15 minutes, but was wonderfully monotonous as I didn't have to think about anything. When I got to the end I cut the fold to make one piece - long and thin.
And then I picked up the two ends and started sewing them together . . . then cut the fold, then pick up the two ends . . . five times altogether . . . and this, after just over an hour, is the result
Brilliant boy quilt indeedy - you are on a roll, boom boom x
ReplyDeleteI think my brain's fried from New York Beautying today, because I'm not sure I *got* the construction technique, but the end result looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow - that was exiting! Your quilt top is so beautiful! I haven't tried yet jelly rolls. Today I made a brave decision and made my first selvage block. I needed to be brave to cut my treasure selvages! x Teje
ReplyDeleteIt's a great technique isn't it? I saw one over at http://quiltmatters.blogspot.co.uk/ last week and thought I must give it a go.
ReplyDeleteGreat colours too.
Love the colors! What size did it end up being? I see this technique everywhere but no one ever says what the finished size is. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFab quilt I love it!
