Good day, and welcome to my blog.
I am reporting the progress I made this week on my Contessa project. This pattern is free from Moda's website. It was the Sew a Jelly Roll pattern for 2024.
I picked 1930's reproduction fabric and a Kona snow background, and cut and sewed with wild abandon, no counting of blocks.
Beginning of the project is described HERE.
I had a pile of blocks:
Each block finishes at 10 inches square. I made two tops 6 by 6 blocks in size, and counted how many blocks were left. I had enough to make two tops 60" by 80" or 6 blocks by 8 blocks, and I had 2 blocks left over!
Top #1:
And top #2:
Yes, they are different, in the placement of the fabric strips.
I hope to quilt these myself on my trusty Kenmore. They are at a good size for charity giving.

I like how you used all the same style fabrics in these but they are still nice and scrappy looking--nice work hugs, Julierose
I love it! 1930s repro fabrics was what drew me into quilting. <3 Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
I'm thinking I might try it with my Civil War reproduction fabrics, as it might make a good guy quilt. Love the thirties but am currently trying to downsize the CW fabrics. Anna in IL
