ARStitcher

I had purchased two identical jelly rolls with the intention of making a strippy rag quilt from them, but decided I should use each one for an individual quilt. As a new quilter, I was looking for an easy project, and this one fit the bill. I attended my first quilt retreat last weekend and in two days I managed to cut one jelly roll into lots of little pieces and reassemble them into what is really my first pieced quilt top (I don't consider my rag quilts to be pieced, just assembled).

Apparently I really liked Moda's "Eerie" jelly roll by Basic Grey, because I bought two of them. I pieced the front and back of this quilt on My Little Margie, my mother's Featherweight, born in 1951. My long arm quilter did a less than 24 hour turnaround to get it back to me so I could add the binding and give it to my daughter 3 days before Halloween.
