It has been a very busy week and I did get a little sewing in between the two grandsons being born.  I finished the jelly roll 1600 top and managed to get 4 walker bags done.  Today I went to a quilt show and managed not to buy anything.

Grandson is here!

Jareth David has arrived!  He was born at 12:02am this morning.  He weighs 7 lbs and 2 ozs and is 20 inches long.  I will post pictures later today after I go to the hospital and meet him.  Congratulations Tim and Anne Marie!

Another top finished!

I finished the second Jelly Roll 1600 top.  The LQS has 10 strips prepacked and give you a deal if you buy 6 packages at a time.  I picked up 6 and used 4 in this top.  Wow!  It is bright and cheerful, perfect for a child or someone who needs some cheering up.  I hope to get working on the quilting soon.

Design Wall (Table) Monday

I had planned on showing the jelly roll 1600 and walker bags that I had gotten done yesterday.  It wasn't meant to be, I did zero sewing but I did get to see my newest grandson come into this world.  He is 7 lbs and 7 ozs.  The hospital where he was born doesn't do the length as they want the baby's pediatrician to do that.   When I left last night he didn't have a name yet.  Maybe today Tony and Nikki will agree on a name.

I'm back to my machine!

Wednesday night I sewed jelly roll strips end to end.

 Thursday, I sewed them together following the jelly roll 1600 pattern.  The top is cute and big!  I can't believe how big it is.  My son is holding it up so I can take a couple of pictures. 

It's the same quilt just rotated 180 degrees.  It looks like arrows in places.  Its about 56" by 65", a good size throw for the back of the couch.  I hope to quilt it this weekend.  I also have some pillow cases to make for quilt guild.  Tuesday is charity night and I may make another one of this quilt in kid prints.
