I finally braved the state in the sewing room, unearthed the started jelly roll race, and finished piecing and quilting it.
I love the total randomness of the blocks!
My lovely niece, Indi, and I recently had an Instagram chat during which she said yes please she would like a quilt for her bed
Music to my ears of course! What to make? - Mum brought an Australian Jelly Roll home from Australia for me, from her recent visit to my brother and his family. It was displayed in the shop made up to Jelly Roll Race, and that's what caught mum's eye. So that was a good idea, but could I add more to it?. . .Indi has lived all her life in Oz, her mum is quarter Spanish, and her dad is half English and half Norwegian.
They used to have an Akita dog, she did a tandem parachute jump for her 12th (!) birthday and she is a great little driver, accompanying my brother to race tracks when he races.
So a quick shopping trip to Spoonflower added some other relevant (but eclectic) fabrics: Hopefully she will see it as a grown up version of an i-spy quilt
Trimming and binding still to be done, then get it sent off to Oz!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
