Cuzco Jelly Roll Race Quilt

I must have been living under a rock because I had no idea what a Jelly Roll Race Quilt was until a few weeks ago when I was browsing flickr...

And well of course I wanted to give it a go. I had a jelly roll in the gorgeous Cuzco just sitting there wait to be used after all!

And here is the (unpressed) quilt top.

It really does come together oh so fast. Now I am just deciding on whether I want to give it borders or just leave it how it is...

What would you do? 

Quilted Mat Sew A Long with Sew Delicious {Part 2}

Today Ros shared how to baste and quilt our mats.

I skipped ahead and did this yesterday...

I had a bit of 'spare time' so thought I might as well get cracking on it!

Next up is binding! 

And I just had to share this photo of Sophie. She was looking right at me so I grabbed the camera and every time I went to take a photo the cheeky thing looked away. I swear she has more attitude than a teenager! 

Are you taking part in the mat sew a long?

Because I don't already have enough projects on the go...

Yes, that's a long title. But it was the only thing in my head when I started writing this post.

This morning I managed to fit in a bit of sewing and instead of finishing something I have already started I decided to start something new...

In my defense I have been hanging on to these charm squares of Dream On for a long long time. I love them so so much.

Well anyway I decided to make quilt out of them, maybe a lap sized one, maybe bigger. I haven't actually done the math yet...

It is just going to be a simple coin quilt with white sashing and borders.

I've cut up 3 charm packs so far and started sewing the rectangles together. I do have another charm pack sitting there tempting be to cut it up too.

Let's see how long this project takes to finish...

I promise that I will be finishing one quilt on the weekend. I have everything ready to finish it. I just want to wait until I have a large block of time available to do it.

So how many unfinished projects to you have at the moment??

Quilted Mat Sew A Long with Sew Delicious

This week I am taking part in the Quilted Mat Sew A Long with Ros of Sew Delicious. It is a quick and easy sew a long and I just couldn't say no.

Today is day one and the task was to create the top.

I choose some Hullabaloo charms and away I went.

I had a visitor watching my every move...

And then it was done! And in less than 20 minutes too.

On Wednesday I'll be basting and quilting it. So I'll see you back here then, okay?
