B side

Last week when I finished the quilt top Summertime sadness I talked with my friend about the B side. Thank you all for all your positive feedback. I felt like I created something special. Being in such good mood I pulled out the remaining fabrics and cut them into strips. When I saw all those stripes I got an idea of jelly roll kind of quilt. I have never done any so why not.



I can't help it but I'm sorting by the color order. I didn't like it too much at the beginning but as more and more colors occurred on my wall it started to look better. 

Those with white background didn't seem to fit at first. 


Not bad but it wasn't big enough. Lucky for me I have only sewed together first couple of rows. I pulled out all the leftovers and enlarged the blue and green section. It's not in exact color order since I didn't want to use seam ripper and I felt like I can do a little mixture. The pink section will be there as well but my designer's wall is not big enough to hold the whole thing. Here's what I'm looking at right now.


I'm only sewing couple of rows at the time as there are other projects screaming for attention. Once I'm done it'll go to local quilting pro. I know her personally so I'm excited about that. She only has pages in Czech but you can have a peak at her gallery which doesn't really need any words.

  9. I've been meaning to do a jellyroll 1600 type of quilt - I even have a couple of jellyrolls for it - I just haven't gotten to it yet! I was thinking about doing one change to the design - alternating the angle of the joins -- l-r and r-l - I'll have to test it first though to see if I like it :D Your side B is going to be great!
