                Quilt With a View


Since this is Wednesday, you are at Cheryl's Teapots 2 Quilting! 

First, I have to apologize about the pictures.  Picasa is being difficult, and not syncing my pictures.  I've tried over and over (and over).  I'm having to cut and paste these pictures directly from my computer, and I can't edit them.  

I started my project later than everyone else, since I was out of town.  I couldn't even download the ebook on to my laptop, since it is ancient, and doesn't like downloads (yes, it needs to be updated, but, last time I tried that, I lost access to my emails for over a week, while on a trip).  I'm tech UN-savvy.

I finally downloaded the ebook on Jan 21st, and decided on a project.  I don't usually use precuts, but, I did have a few that I've collected.

 I've only made something with precuts 2 other times.  A quilt for my niece, using charm squares (sorry, no picture) and a table runner.

Well, I chose one of my jelly rolls, and, a local quilt store (Sewing, Etc) cut me a black jelly roll. (Thanks Kelly)!

Spritely is the pattern I chose to make (it was a hard decision, since there are so many great patterns in the book).

This is a quick quilt to stitch together.  I'll happily make this quilt again.

This quilt finishes at 60" x 70", and uses 30 blocks.  

If you only used 12 of the blocks (3 across x 4 down) it would make a great baby quilt (finishing at 36" x 48").  I'm thinking of using this pattern for baby quilts soon.
