A few months later, I decided I could figure out something to do with them, and used the rest of the fabric to make this super simple rail fence quilt. I like the fact that there's a pattern of "T's" in the green because that's my last name. How awesome is a monogram quilt? I'm not sure if I'll keep it. I do have a whole other jelly roll in this same fabric so I may make another. I'll be adding borders soon. I'm thinking a thin robin's egg blue and thicker brown, with a green binding? I'm planning to attempt machine quilting this baby myself. Wish me luck!

Another rail fence quilt
I sewed this rail fence quilt top together the other day. As I was laying out the pieces, I felt kind of limited due to the fact that I only had 5 different fabrics to play with. The fabric is from an off-brand jelly roll I bought at Wal-Mart last year. It only had 5 fabrics in it, and not very many of the striped, but it was on clearance for $10 so I decided to go for it.
I've said before there are a lot of "oops" when I sew. Spiral Stripes, the blocks I had originally intended to make with this fabric, were from the Jelly Roll Quilts book by Pam & Nicki Lintott. I accidentally cut the blocks an inch smaller than they were supposed to be (eep!) and was quite in despair.
