30/30 Update

Hey! Time to celebrate - this quilt that I started on Wednesday (during snow day) is now a complete flimsy!


This was a jelly roll quilt, was way easier than it looks, and I have nine more blocks to use up. I couldn't decide whether to put in white sashing or not, so I ended up agreeing with myself to make two smaller quilts. This one is about 45" by 60" and the second that I will make with sashing will be about 50" square. Great size for lap quilts.  I now have three flimsies ready for quilting and my DP9 quilt still just needs borders.

So while I haven't had 30 minutes a day necessarily, I've definitely made up for it this week. Linking up to 30/30 Challenge Participation Party!

  1. This is a more interesting jelly roll quilt than I've seen in a while - looks trickier than that! Congrats on getting a whole top done so quickly, Kaelyn! I'm counting down till my littles are both in school all day before I think I'll manage to be quite that productive : P

  2. Love it! Those blocks sure came together quickly. Very interesting to see those little white squares made by the secondary design and how you added the white border to blend in with them. Looks great!

  4. Wow,that was a fast quilt top! Thirty minutes a day is great,but sometimes just not doable,I think as long as you have sewn the total minutes at the end of the week it is fine.

  5. Jelly rolls are cute, but you made a lovely block, and with the cornerstones of white it adds so much detail, and you got 2 for 1....

  6. Your quilt looks great. I love making lap quilts - they are also perfect for quilting by machine.
