I had just returned from our two weeks in Ireland, away from my studio for all that time, so all I wanted to do was to sit down at my sewing machine and just sew and sew and sew.
I had found one of these on sale, a set of jellyroll strips that were just not rolled up.
I also had a few yards of a light and happy background fabric, so off I went to find a pattern and get started.
The pattern was quickly found on YouTube. Fons and Porter have a gaggle of free video tutorials and quilt pattern instructions. For this one, search Fons and Porter, Quilting Quickly: Twice as Nice. The video takes a whole 5 minutes.
This is the resulting quilt, which arrived in a miraculously short period of time. I added a couple of borders, some very simple straight-line quilting, and Bob’s your uncle.

This quilt will go to my sister-in-law, whose house is wonderfully decorated in all these fabulous colors.
The only problem now is what do I do with both of these?????
