I had saved this free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop, with the idea that it would be a quick way to use a couple of jelly rolls that have been languishing in the stash. I decided to put this on my 2021 UFO Challenge list (and yes I've started the list already), and even selected a bright jelly roll to use.
In the drawer with the bright jelly roll was also this wintery blue jelly roll. And tucked into the bag with the blue roll was a bag of laser cut blue snowflakes. Obviously I had intended to use them together - but as what? Who knows!! Well I now have a plan and have begun to execute that plan.
Recently I signed up for a Secret Santa type of Christmas gift exchange with an online group of quilt-y friends. We have a small budget ($20) and can choose to make any small project. I'm going to use the Jelly Belly pattern, the blue/cream jelly roll, and the laser cut snowflakes to make a couple of table runners. I can use one for the gift exchange and one to keep - or give away. I even had the cream background fabric in my stash. There is enough of everything so I should not have to buy anything unless I end up buying a little something for the backing and or binding.
Great idea for using the snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteOh I like those snowflakes vs the real ones:)
