I made a trip to my favorite quilting shop earlier this month with my friend Carol. I was looking for backing fabric and while there, found this jelly roll:
Gorgeous, isn't it?!?! I decided to do another "
Squares of Sharon" quilt and use this jelly roll. The manufacturer had set up the roll with all the light fabrics together and all the dark together, so I pulled it apart and re-grouped the strips:
And here we go - my regrouped strips.
And, of course, Squares of Sharon quilts go together in FLASH - and here's the finished quilt
(the quilting is done in simple loop-d-loops on the longarm):

| 58" X 70" - 100% cotton batting - quilted on the longarm |
Now, I learned something on this one. The quilt is actually too "busy", visually, because I used the prints in the borders. I should have done as I did on that first one, and have the inner and outer borders done in a solid, not a print - or even have all 3 borders be solids.
The other thing I'm observing is that, although, again, this is pretty, I prefer this style of quilt to have fewer colours in it
(the first one I did was just blue and white).
Even so - it's very pretty and I'm quite pleased!
