I purchased my first jelly roll last fall in anticipation of a Guild demo and workshop. I didn’t have the pattern when I made my purchase and what I bought was totally unsuitable for the quilt pattern. I split the roll in half using the dark ones for a chair cover. There were enough left to make this table topper.

I outlined the white squares and intended to do something fancy on the centre but none of the templates I had were the right size. I really didn’t fancy another paper template so I did some rectangular straight lines in the centre. I used a diagonal line in the corners but none of the stitching shows up much. It is quite a busy piece so I think that is okay.

I’ll donate this to the Guild’s Hands Across the Water event this fall.
