For National Quilting Day: A new project

 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!
