stashbust jelly roll race - the finale

here we are, at the end of the jelly roll race road.

can you believe it?

there were time i thought we'd never make it... especially when it came to getting this blog post done!

sadly, my binding video didn't span out as expected (you'll see that at the bottom of this post) but nonetheless, the quilt is done and donated!

so here it all is!

i have to say these jelly roll race quilts turn out to be a great lap/couch size, and are the perfect quick quilt gift if you don't want to spend a whole lot of time chopping up pieces, and instead just want a cozy "look what i can do!" project.  and you don't even have to take the time to long arm it.<this having been my second jelly roll race quilt to do, i had a better idea of what to do vs. what not to do... i threw myself in the deep end by doing an orange batik one first.  and BOY was that an adventure!  as a refresher, my time on this one was about an hour to piece the top (minus pressing, since i did that at the very end) which was about the same time it took to do the batik one.  that one i had to seam rip, this one i was sweating to death... oops!i still love how the daisies look on this, and will absolutely use this pantograph again and again. i've got some baby girl quilts coming up soon, so they might just be the right match for it!in the end, even the binding came from my stash, which means nothing was spent on this beyond the time it took to rent on the long arm.  i cleared out some of my fabrics, which was nice (especially prior to our guild meeting with nadia arbach, professional declutterer).  now having done this, and having her lecture run in my head from time to time, i now feel a little more prepared to PURGE THAT FABRIC.

so fingers crossed for more stashbust creations along with the freedom to just let go of the dang fabric.  *cue elsa and the ice castle*

below you'll find the long waited final video, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint!  below that, you'll find the links to the other posts about this jelly roll race, since that will put the final pretty bow on this particular quilt and it can then officially be added to the quilt count!
