Tsunami Quilts–The Obsession Starts

(pt. 2)

I was looking around in my project boxes trying to decide what to work on next – I needed to clear out a box for another new project. My eyes fell upon these. I figured I could finish the few blocks and whip up the top and move it out.

When I took out the blocks and the cut fabrics and such, I realized, I really didn’t like them. Ok. No big deal. I could still finish the top and give it to Na Lima Aloha (my guild’s charity project).

I still happened to have the previous tsunami tops on my desk and I put two and two together. I finished the blocks that needed to be done and then decided I would add them to the pile of tsunami blocks. I figured “cool, a way to knock out a UFO and accomplish a goal of giving a nice number of quilts to the project!”

Here they are quilted:

I could have stopped here with 18 quilts… but noooo….

Jelly Roll Quilt Along Blocks

Back in 2010 Moose on the Porch hosted a Jelly Roll Quilt Along and I started it. I quickly fell behind and disinterested. I really didn’t like the fabric I chose. I did use jelly roll that I had in my stash. Today while looking at my project boxes trying to decide where my UFO #8 was located, my eyes fell on this project. I had cut out the five remaining blocks when my machine was in for service at the end of 2011.

I was able to whip out the last remaining blocks:

Block 7

Block 9

Block 10

Block 11

Block 12

I am now caught up with the Jelly Roll Quilt along’s blocks.

I did two blocks at my bee this past Saturday (where has the time gone??). Sorry for the blurry pictures, I don’t know what happened when I took them.

And one today:

Five blocks down, seven to go.

Jelly Roll Sampler – Quilt Along

Kim — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:12:00 +0000

I have decided to do this. It will help me bust some stash and seems simple enough to get a couple of blocks done each month. Plus, I can’t seem to say no to a new project. The first block was posted yesterday. If you want to join, click the above picture and you can make your own block. I am sure you have an extra jelly roll (or two) that is sitting around waiting on you to use it.

Here is my first block. I am using Kashmir III fabric.

I am trying to decide if I want to make a second using my Mary Englebriet Christmas Jelly Roll. Stay Tuned for that decision. :)
