Jelly roll in Central Park



Strip quilt



I have had this Kate Spain Central Park fabric and have always wanted to use it in a strip quilt because of the wonderful, vibrant colors. So I got busy last night and did the jelly roll strip quilt.




1600 inches of strips!


a river of fabric!




And finally a finished quilt top! I love the colors and it is an easy project but I must admit I was bored sewing long continuous strips. And then there is keeping the puddle of fabric in line to sew those long strips! I did however set my machine on it's fastest speed (which I rarely use) and was very happy at it's performance. It was a nice change to piecing and it is a great beginner quilt or fast project for anyone needing a quick gift but not as fun as I thought it would be.
Have a great Wednesday!

P.S. I am linking up to W.I.P Wednesday with Freshly Pieced! I am new to linking up but so fun!
