Friday Finishes

My finishes this week are actually all works in progress.  I’m finished with my part of the projects, though, so it still counts!

Here are two bee blocks I made for Melissa.  She is making a really fun rainbow Mod Mosaic Quilt.  She asked me to make a true blue and true green block.

My second finish was a quilt top for the nephew of my friend and bee partner, Yolanda.

I was sent a whole bunch of 2.5″ x 22″ strips, some 1.5″ strips and a couple of fat quarters.  I was told to do whatever I wanted and to have fun.  I’ve never made a jelly roll quilt before, so I did a lot of research and when I found the Rockin Roll Jelly Roll Quilt pattern, I knew it was the perfect fit (especially for a quilt with guitars on it!).

It was pretty fast and easy to put together and I think her nephew can continue to use this quilt as he gets older.

I love all the textured fabrics.

I also got happy mail this week!  I won a giveaway over at Alyce’s Blog (Blossom Heart Quilts) and she sent me a stack of transport fabric squares all the way from Japan!

Now I think I need to add another project to my list!  My son FLIPPED over the fabrics and I would love to get a quilt or playmat sewn up for his birthday in 12 days.  I don’t know if that will be possible with the move and all the other projects I need to finish before I pack up my sewing machine.  I can certainly try, for my little boy!
