Well, I didn't get any finish posts out this week. It doesn't surprise me because this is the week I prepare for the MHMH board of directors meeting and that takes up huge chunks of time. Plus, we are already starting to receive blocks from the newest block drive. Lots to process!
I did, however, put aside some time to do a bit of sewing. We received some tubs of fabric and tucked inside one of them was a partial jellyroll. It looked like it was leftover from a project. I did some quick calculations, pulled a few fabrics that matched from the stash and started making some 10" strip blocks.

I was able to come up with 20 blocks which made a 40" x 50" little quilt. This used up every bit of the strips which made me very happy! Thanks, Diane, for the strips!
On the back. I used this bright yellow print from Karen. From a distance, it doesn't make much sense, but I promise there is yellow in the quilt top.
It was nice to do a bit of sewing that wasn't a binding or a backing.
I need to do more of it!

You have a gift for looking at scraps and seeing what they can become! I've been using a jelly roll for a project, and it's going to leave leftovers, too. These blocks are a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration, Cyndy!
Cynthia, your lil strippy quilt has alot of zing to it. That one bold print scattered about is perfect!
That looks like sunshine and happiness to me! What a great use of a leftover jelly roll!
You'd never guess it was a left overs quilt. Congrats on using up those odds and ends.
Hi Cynthia, your quilt looks great. That's my favourite type of sewing. Easy and quick gratification :-) Thanks for the party.
That's amazing you are already receiving blocks from the next drive. I'll make some later this summer. :)
Great way to use jelly roll strips...!! Hugs, Julierose.
