This post is later than usual because I forgot to set it to publish automatically like I usually do.  It snowed here yesterday - maybe half an inch, so I spent lots of extra time in my sewing room avoiding the errands I'll have to run today.   
 

The Quick Strippee is one of my favorite Go To patterns for a baby or child size quilt.  It's a free pattern from https://blog.maryquilts.com/category/quilt-designs/ .  They take a yard each of 3 fabrics, and are cut in strips from selvage to selvage. 

I like to kit up a couple of these at a time, and then sew them when I need another baby quilt or just want a quick project.  It really takes much less than a day to cut and sew these.  This was the last one I had kitted up from 2024, but there are some cute "kid" prints in the project box for the next go around. 

I even leave the selvages on the strips, lining up the left side evenly.  But I leave the right side however it ends up until after it's quilted.  Then I square up both sides before putting the binding on.  

The other thing I did yesterday was sew all of the Twinkler blocks into rows, and then sewed those rows together.  But it needs an outer border yet.  And the extra 2 blocks - well they may be the "seeds" to grow a winter table runner using the leftover jelly roll strips.
