Vitamin Q intake :-)

Vitamin Q should always be taken in generous doses !

P1020299

Now there is no way back - the Jelly Roll is opened!

P1020300

40 strips sewn into 20 pairs.

I can see how a seamstress’ desk can be cluttered in 5 seconds flat.
Fabrics that are not neatly folded take a lot of space!

P1020301

Here are the 20 strip sets ironed.

P1020302

From 1 strip set I can get 2 complete hexagons and my 20 strip sets will give me 40 complete hexagons.

The strips in a Jelly Roll is 2,5” full width of fabric.
A Jelly Roll equals 60” of fabric.

I don’t have a clue how big this quilt will be all in all.
I intend to use all the 40 hexagons.

  11. Spennende å se hva dette skal bli. Så "modig" du har vært å åpne rullen.

  13. Dette så spennende ut, Hanne!
    Bruker du en spesiell linjal (grader?) til å skjære ut "trekantene"?
