The beginnings of the May Strip Club quilt. This pattern is from the Jelly Roll queens, Pam and Nicky Lintott. It's "Just One Jelly Roll - Pyramid Triangles." And it's a true scrap quilt, the jelly roll strips are leftovers from my January Strip Club quilt. I haven't quite decided on sashing -- should it be the red? I do have a yellow print from the Strawberry Fields line, maybe it should be yellow? I'll wait until I have more blocks completed to make up my mind. I have a slick new tool to make quarter-square triangles, come back for the Tuesday Tute to check it out.
Also, I have enough quarter square triangles left over to make a good-sized baby quilt. I needed 120 triangles, but I cut 120 pair of triangles. Who would guess my PhD studies included statistics?
Now for my big news: I have more than 50 followers! I am so pleased, I want to share my happiness with all of you by hosting a little giveaway.
Needless to say, I've never hosted a giveaway. I think "the way it's done" is for you to make a comment, and next Sunday I will attempt to master the random numbers generator and select a winner. The winner gets this pack of charm squares, "Summer House" by Lily Ashbury for Moda. The perfect fabrics for Spring! I've met some wonderful bloggers from Japan, Australia and New Zealand -- so Susan, play along. If you win, I'll find out how to mail stuff to Brisbane!
Now I have 50+ followers, this will be my last linkup with Lily's Quilts' "Small Blog Meetup." Thank you, everyone, who has visited from Lily's Quilts. I'll see you at Lily's "Fresh Sewing Day."
I am your newest follower, congrats on getting up to 50 followers, am currently still working my way there. Thanks for the chance to win the charm pack!

Gosh - I feel honoured to get a special mention - I wasnt going to enter (postage can be a bit of a killer) but I have to now - so here I am. Those fabrics look so lovely - right up my alley in bright colours. Those triangles also look like they will end up looking fabulous - scrap quitls are such a good idea when you have a bit of leftover fabric - a bit??
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your followers!!!!
Well done on passing 50 followers!!! The fabric looks lovely! I am honoured to enter your giveaway!

I am a new follower. Love the quilt at the top, I think the red sashing will look great!
ReplyDeleteI love those scrappy triangles! I like the idea of the yellow sashing, but I have been a little too in to neutral quilts - I think the red would be really vibrant and fun!
ReplyDeleteYour pyramid triangles are great!! I am your newest follower :o)

ReplyDeleteYou do know that fabric would look great in my Farmers Wife I am starting next year....just sayin......
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I like the quilt in progress and think something red would frame it very nicely - the red on your design wall in between is great. Thanks for the giveaway. Summer House would look good in a triangle quilt too. Blogger tells me:
