The fabric for the top came from two jelly rolls I purchased for another project, but that didn't quite work color-wise. I cut the strips in random lengths before I sewed them together. I wanted to recycle some of my scraps for this quilt, so once I had the top sewn I used batting scraps, muslin and some bias binding leftover from other projects to put it together.
I took a long time to hand quilt it, but it was more about taking my time and enjoying the process than hurrying to get it done. I'm also trying to improve my hand stitching by going slower and quilting for shorter periods of time, which helped a little.
I usually make quilts for other people, but after spending all last year doing that I'd like to make a few just for fun. So this is fun quilt #1.
