Amy Butler Tote redux

I found the Amy Butler tote on the K&C Company website. It looks really nice and has gotten rave reviews from some people who have emailed and commented. I’ll have to think about it before I buy. I still want the pattern so I can try and make it from my own fabric.

Admiring Rectangles

Fractions on a Roll is another Jelly Roll pattern that I admired at the APNQ show. In addition to diamonds, I have also been admiring rectangles. I actually started a rectangle quilt to comfort my aunt while she was in the hospital. Unfortunately, I didn’t finish it in time and haven’t had the heart to work on it. This design, however may give me the boost I need to work on it.

The layout of the rectangles is different than my original design and may give a UFO new life.

Jelly Roll Patterns

I saw this pattern at the APNQ show, which I promise to write about soon. I seem to be attracted to Jelly Rolls and Jelly Roll patterns lately. Not sure what that is about, but am just going to go with the flow.

I have long admired diamond quilts, but aside from a few 8-pointed stars and a Lone Star center, I haven’t ever made a diamond quilt.

It is appealing because of the way larger diamonds are made up of smaller diamonds. Strip ‘n’ Dip is from GE Designs, an Icelandic company.
