Earlier this year, I made myself a birthday present: a quilt from my first quiltalong. I followed P.S. I Quilt’s postage stamp quiltalong, which was really fun. Also, I saved myself like $20 by cutting my white strips from yardage, rather than buying a solid jelly roll. Yay!
I used a Central Park jelly roll; at the time, I was looking for a jelly roll with purples in it. When I put together the blocks, I wanted to make sure the combinations were really random, so I numbered my strips, also put those numbers on scraps of paper, and drew numbers to figure out which strips to combine for each block. Heh!
