Animal Party Girls and Berry Jelly and Jam

I finished the Animal Party Girls quilt... well, except for a label. I think I'm just going to do a simple/basic one.





Glimpse of the back...

Well, I got a bit bored with the Halloween quilt. So I took a break from it and and made this little top. It's a small version of a Fig Tree Pattern call "Jelly and Jam" and I made it using some of the leftovers of my "Berry Delicious" fabric. I'm going to just put a white border on it (the same width as the sashing). I bought some blue and white, large print, gingham-like fabric for the backing today (another steal from the 1/2 off table at the quilt shop) and I'm planning to bind it in solid red. These blocks are made with jelly roll strips and are very fast to put together.


I just realized while previewing this post, that I think I sewed a couple of blocks not in the order I intended... oh, well, I'm not going to redo it at this point.
