Jelly Roll Weave Quilt

I love watching quilt tutorials. This cutie also came from a Missouri Star Quilt tutorial. Jenny made individual blocks in a weave pattern, but I wanted to see what a whole quilt top would do. I didn't have enough fabric to go bigger, so I added two borders.

The quilt is 46" x 54" and is quilted using "stitch-in-the-ditch". The border is a bright M&M's print that draws the eyes right out to the edges.

All of the fabric is scrap bits leftover from other projects.

I always dread washing quilts, but my cat decided to force my hand on this one.

These pictures are after a good run through the washing machine and I'm happy to say it held up very well. I'm on my way to losing that particular fear. (Now I just need to get over the one about my stash running out before my love of quilting ends -- as if??)
