I made this quilt last week out of a jelly roll. I’ve never done that before but it just took one evening to sew all the pieces into a brick pattern and then a couple of hours to put the borders on and another couple to finish it off and do some rudimentary machine quilting. I love it and now I’m desperate to have a go with another one! It took 1 jelly roll and 2 metres of fabric but all our jelly rolls are different sizes and this was the smallest so I guess with say, Amy Butler, you might need more than 2 metres for the back and edges.

I’ve been knitting the Adult Surprise Jacket (Elizabeth Zimmerman) when it hasn’t been too hot. It is all knitted in one piece from the top and I’m knitting it in pure wool so it is pretty warm sat on my lap. A winter project really, but I just was desperate to do it now. I am down to the waist I think, almost at the end of the increasing. I am desperate to knit Kate Davies’ Owls out of a Cocoon sweater I have gone off. I think that is my next project although by the time I have finished the ASJ all the new winter yarns will be arriving and that is bound to ruin my  planned project queue…
