Welcome to my usual Wednesday posting. March 20 was National Quilting Day, and even though I have several projects ongoing, I decided to start a new project. Hey why not? And in different colors and fabrics than my usual Civil War and 1800's reproduction fabrics.
I had saved in my files a free pattern called Three at a Time:

And decided to start on it. You need a Jelly roll with 40 strips of fabric, and at least 2 yards of background fabric. though more would be better. I had this Jelly roll from Lunn fabrics:
A beautiful array of blue, green, lime, yellow and orange batiks. Following directions, this is as far as I have gotten:
Love the movement in this one. The background is a dark charcoal gray, slightly mottled fabric. The quilt is assembled in long columns and I have yet to sew them together. You get the sense of where this is heading however.
I like this pattern - I may try it in 30's reproductions and unbleached muslin next!
