I was busy over the Christmas break. I finished quilting and trimming the log cabin quilt described in my previous post.
I traveled to visit family and visited a quilt store (of course) and purchased a set of 2.5 inch strips (a jelly roll) in Christmas Hoffman fabrics, and matching yardage for a border.
I sewed up a jelly roll race quilt top with these fabrics. It's the third one I have done. One must let go of matchy-matchy tendencies and go with the flow, believe in the process.
A 2017 Christmas jelly roll top is shown in a previous entry in my blog.
Now for the 2018 version!
Hoffman winter/Christmas fabrics with silver highlights on them, green holly border. I am sorry I don't have a close up picture. This top is now on the "to be quilted" pile.

Those jelly roll quilts look like a lot of fun. I have several rolls that I need to bite the bullet and just let myself be free flowing. I checked out your other links and they all cry out merry merry even if the log cabin one was not necessarily intended to do so. Congrats and good luck getting those quilts crammed through your trusty Kenmore.
