Jelly Roll Race quilt with triangles

I had made a jelly roll race quilt the traditional way with 45 degree angles joining the strips.  I wanted to do something different.  I was shopping for a jelly roll when I mentioned that thought to the quilt store clerk.  She said she just saw an idea she thought was clever.  She showed me the magazine with a picture of a quilt that used triangles to connect the strips.  I thought to myself, "I can do this."  So I did it.  The triangles are a light shade of tan, not white as it looks in the photo.  The jelly roll was made up of supposedly Christmas fabrics, but I took out several strips that said Merry Christmas and I think it will be a year round sofa quilt.

I started making Hexagaons after my hip replacement of my hip replacement surgery while I was not very mobile.  I finished it up when my husband had a knee replacement and I was confined to the hospital and then to home for awhile.  Still need to find a border and backing then quilt it.

Wicked Fairy Costume for my granddaughter Halloween 2016

My Granddaughter wanted to be a mean fairy for Halloween, so I made a tule tutu and added a leaf overlay to it in shades of blues and purples.  It turned out tutu cute!

In January we headed south to get out of the cold Iowa winter for a spell.  I took my sewing machine and a Moda jelly roll along with several other pieces of fabric I had picked up with an eye for a possible border or two.
