Something pretty -

Sounded like it would help me find my mojo -

So I checked my stash -

And pulled out some jelly rolls with Christmas colors -

Because it will be here before we know it -

Whether we're ready or not - LOL - ;))

I sorted out the RED (8) - GREEN (8) - BEIGE/NEUTRALS (4) -

I thought about making some 5-step Upstairs/Downstairs blocks -
But decided that the BEIGE/NEUTRALS were a little too boring -

So I pulled out a YELLOW jelly roll from my stash -

And pulled out the two on the right -

They didn't really look very Chrismas-ey to me -

And replaced the BEIGE/NEUTRALS with the remaining ones -

Then they looked a little too "bright" to me -

So I put them all back and pulled out a different roll from my stash -

Imperial Collection - ©Studio RK - Crimson Colorstory -
RU-754-40 - by Robert Kaufman -
40 pieces - includes duplicates -
There are 3 each of 12 different prints and 4 of the last one -

First I laid them out thinking that I would make the 5-step Upstairs/Downstairs block - but each set of 5 strips will give me 3 blocks - and with so many duplicate prints - that is a whole lot of "same" - or really close to "same" - LOL -

So I think it might make a better bargello - with the prints running up and then back down again -

The FLORAL in the center of the GOLDS would be "reverse" point -

This only has 27 of them laid out - because my kitchen island is only 6" long -
So it would finish at 54" this way -

If I added another "reverse run" - I could have all 40 laid out -
And it would finish at 80" long -

I have two rolls - so I'm pretty sure that I could make it at least 60" wide -

That would be a nice size -

And it IS something pretty - LOL -

What do you think? - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
