No HST in the quilt at all, lots of strips and what F&P calls flippy corners. Like I said it is a Kim Bracket pattern from a recent book of hers. Amazon.com: kim brackett quilt books
I think it is in the Beauties book. Irene's Vexation
This is exactly my problem. I'm overwhelmed. If you look in my notes section you will see the list of all the tutorials that I want to try. I have no idea how I'm going to decide!! Then I look at the fabric and it's soooo pretty. I get afraid to mess it up.
The Ellie Ann LC has been on my wish list since I joined here so when I saw it was the DD I bought it...AND a JR. LOL. I now have 3 free shipping orders (you know what that means$!) placed with M* and I haven't sewn the first thing yet!I know there are plenty of patterns out there but I usually choose the one that need both JR and LC. I'm currently working on finding a pattern for the Ellie Ann JR. The DD has the layer cake on sale.
I just wish I could get my sewing machines out of my storage unit in NJ, but we would literally have to empty about 3/4 of the unit to reach them. Poor planning on my part, but I knew I wouldn't be able to be crafting while I'm trying to pack up and move, so I thought, "get them safely out of the way first". I had no idea that when I packed all my creative life (sewing, scrapbooking, painting etc) away it would be gone from me for close to 3 years now.
So apparently, in order to cope...I buy fabric. Lots of fabric. But I save $5 every time! That's got to count for something.![]()

I purchased two JR last year with no particular project in mind. Yesterday morning I was inspired to try to make a quilt in a day, start to finish. I almost made it...I finished a throw today using one of the JR. I used the MSQC tutorial "Amazing Jelly Roll Race" as a jumping-off point. It was not a work of art, but it turned out cute. And it was the perfect gift for my friend who came home from the hospital today. She was touched and especially surprised when I told her I started it yesterday!
All this to say, JR are a great way to say "I love you" with a quick project. I posted the picture on my wall.
I'll buy some and then find that while they all go together - some of the colors don't work with each other. I've had reddish browns, greenish and yellowish browns in the same pack. I wind up either tossing the extras if I have a friend that doesn't want them. I don't have the patience to sell them, and since I don't think much of where I live, I won't donate them, either.
