Last Friday I found myself after weeks of finishing off projects for birthday gifts with time on my hands and a chance to sew. But there were 10 - 13 year old girls in the house I was not able to be in the room where my cutting usually takes place so had to find something in my stash cut but not sewn. I chanced upon a jelly roll that had been given to me by Theresa last year when we went to see French and Saunders and it was Katie Jumps Rope - the same material that Theresa had been sewing at our Sew and Sews meeting the night before. ( Here we are breathing the same air again!).
Anyway I had been given a lesson in log cabin that night as well and figured that the Katie Jumps Rope jelly roll might be a good place to start. I had a nicely drawn pattern and strict instructions to iron as I went for the best results. But I got muddled at the first corner and I hate ironing as my ironing board is in another room and not easy to slip away to - so I just got sewing and with a bit of cream, fabric to stretch my lovely stash a bit further ) I think I invented Lazy Katie - the not log cabin that was not ironed - but I think it is really cool and will be my new snuggle quilt for when the weather drops below 34 degrees!!
I really like the little cream centre. That will prove to be very interesting if you keep that up!
ReplyDeleteI have finished 16 block now and am looking forward to your advice on how they should be put together - I have a few plans that involve byuing some more KJR so that may be an option - look forward to unveiling tommorrow night
