The short answer is, “Not much!” Well not much in the way of actual projects anyway. My desk is just not big enough when I am sewing and I have to resort to the kitchen table and my big cutting mat on the lounge floor.
I’ve been brave and unfurled that lovely jelly roll. It was looking a bit dishevelled, which is why I got it for £15, rather than the usual price, which would be almost double that.
All the strips have been ironed and I’m in the process of trimming off the frayed edges, ready to cut the pieces for my quilt top. I’ve decided on a pattern now, but it’s in a book I borrowed from the library and somebody has requested it. How dare they?! I’ve ordered my own copy now and I can crack on as soon as it arrives.
The desks are multiplying each week and I just can’t get round them all any more. I have a core of regulars that I visit each week and I also try to get to a few extra desks, which I pick at random. So if I haven’t visited you for a while, I’ll be turning up again before long. Go and say hello over at Julia’s, if you fancy sharing yours.

Those fabrics are so pretty, lots of lovely colours and patterns :)
Have a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen #90
I'm always happy when I hear of someone else who likes to spread out on the floor! (Just as long as there is no ironing on the floor..tried that once as a student. Melted the carpet..)
How dare they order the book you've got ... people have no idea, do they :lol: ... I will say these are the most gorgeous colours of fabrics Fi.
Are we going to see a picture of the quilt you've chosen to make?
Gorgeous little fabric strips - will love to see what you make with it. x jo
Lovely fabric...I haven't managed to visit all the desks yet either...just too many:)
I do a similar thing with the desks too! Seeing that jelly roll opened up and all that lovely fabric and I am itching to get stitching again!
Gorgeous fabrics - what a lovely selection. You've got so much more patience than me to tackle a project like that!
It's going to be fab :)
Hugs, LLJ #56 xx
Wonderful material, can't wait to see what you create with them.

The fabric is lovely. Thanks for sharing & enjoy this week's WOYWW. I've been nosing at lots of desks in my attempt to visit everyone. Zo xx 83
Oh, I'm loving all the fabric!! At first I thought it was papers and then when I read "jelly roll" I knew. I've seen these at JoAnn's and since I don't sew I just look and love but don't purchase. Now I know what I can do with them -- make roses!! They are probably cut the right width already.....
Happy WOYWW

Pretty fabric! Hope you get your book in soon. Have fun making your quilt! dani13
beautiful fabric good luck with finishing it.
Such lovely fabric - just scrummy! Good luck in the making ... You will let us see, won't you?
That roll is just gorgeous on it's own - love the look of fabrics and designs like these! Thanks for letting us look in and peek at your desk... Sarah at 7...
Wow, I often pick up and moon over the possibilities of a jelly roll ( I don't sew quilt!!), I think the prices are steep to remind fools like me that buying one doesn't mean it'll get a useful life!! Can't wait to se your quilt top now, the fabric is just lovely.
I agree ...there are too many to get round ...I have a core group I always visit ...I always visit those that drop by my place ...and then if I have time I drop by a few more but always finish on a Friday evening ...late.
Fantastic bargain jelly rolls... looking forward to seeing the quilt ...one day lol xx
I take my hat off to quilters,I cant quilt to save my life, hope you get to share with us every week the progress
