Well, as of today we are "officially" 56 days away from Christmas. I don't know about you, but that kinda freaks me out. Just thinking about everything that I want to do/need to do before then is giving me a bit of anxiety. Lol.
I decided back in the beginning of the summer that I wanted to do quilts for my two aunts and my grandma. I took the first step and bought everything that I needed.... but then the stuff sat. Why it took me until August to get started on these I'll never know. I honestly thought, even in August, that I would have plenty of time to get them all done. Well, the first one took a little longer than I had anticipated, the second one (which I'll be sharing on Friday) took even longer, and now I'm working on the third one... trying to get it done relatively quickly (thankfully it's an EASY pattern) but still nicely.
For this third quilt, I decided to do the Easy Jelly Roll Quilt (6-sizes) that I found on Craftsy. I ordered everything I needed from Missouri Star, and got started on it about a week and a half ago. Finished up the top last night, and it's ready to go! Planning on getting it basted and quilted by the end of this weekend so I'll have another Christmas gift checked off the list!

That's a lot of work - good luck getting them done for Christmas - it looks great
ReplyDeleteI admire you doing 3 quilts for Christmas! I keep thinking ~ maybe next year I'll get to one :) Can't wait to see this one finished!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are well on your way to having the three quilts done in time for Christmas, Jess. Your jelly roll quilt top is gorgeous!
