Not a lot to report today. My throat is still very sore and I haven't even got dressed today, let alone go out! I wrote three letters last night and one this morning and Tina posted them for me. Some time ago I bought a 'jelly roll', which is a whole bundle of already cut pieces to make a quilt. I watched a video on You tube about the 'Jelly roll Race'. Not really a race, but a quick way of assembling the yards of pieces without lots of cutting and ironing. This is after I had sewn all the pieces together in a long (very long) length!
You then have to get both ends and sew the strip up so that it is half the length, and then do the same again and again! this is about half way!
Then the top of the quilt assembled!
This has taken most of the day, and plenty of threads to clear up again, but it has taken my mind off the throat! Can't go any further with it until I buy wadding and backing material. It was fun to do, need to be more precise with the finishing. The weather has been pretty miserable outside so haven't missed much by hot going out. Time for a Lemsip now I think!
Aww poor you. A day in may be was for the best. The quilt looks amaze already without being finished. Lovely bright colours. Xx
