...to send me careening off in another direction like a creative pinball. There are at least three quilts in here I'd love to get started on right now.I'm excited to finally put these two jelly rolls to use -- I picked them up at the International Quilt Show this spring, and every once in a while they call out to me from the stash corner of my kitchen (not the black hole of UFO's -- that's the other corner. I try to separate the two so that the new fabric is ignorant of its potential for living out the rest of its days in a plastic bag).
But work beckons. Oh, to live a life of leisure!
And BTW, here's how the Hopscotch quilt looks now. It's hard to see pale green quilting on white blocks (I'll try to get a better picture, but it involves laying down on the floor and contorting parts that don't contort so well anymore, something I didn't have time for this morning), but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I love jelly rolls, have bought a few, but have yet to make a quilt with them. I think I don't want to undo how cute they are!
Those jelly rolls are beautiful! No wonder you want to get started right away. Thanks for the book recommendation -- I have a jelly roll but haven't figured out what to do with it yet.
Oh my, now I really want this book. I don't have any jelly rolls, but I am longing for some now. You are churning out such great quilts. I envy all the lucky recipients.
i've never bought a jelly roll...sure would be convenient not to do that cutting. have fun with the new book!
