This year I decided to make a Christmas quilt for me. Marie and I were at the quilt shop and saw jelly rolls of Christmas fabric that we liked. I had never made a jelly roll race quilt so I decided that is what I would do. Now I can say I have done one and will never have to do another! Did not enjoy the process at all and I'm really not that fond of the finished product! But I have a Christmas quilt! I didn't realize that you needed to make the first strip shorter so most of my connections happen close to either side - maybe I would have liked it better if I had done it correctly! But I still wouldn't like the process. For the back I used some poinsettia fabric from the same line as the jelly roll. I quilted it with red thread in a big wobbly stipple. Still not very good at this quilting part!
