Around 3am I realised that I wasn't going to sleep at all last night, my eyes were screwed shut and I was trying very hard to block out the sound of the rain on the roof and the gull chick keening across the road. So I gave up and got up!
I made another blue bag with more blue charms, I forgot to take a picture, it looks very similar to the one I made yesterday!

So at 05.30am I was twiddling my thumbs again and wondering what to do with myself now. I opened up my drawer and had a little tidy up and then pulled out the home made Jelly Roll which I won on Andreas give away. Before I knew what was going on I had it untied and was sorting out colour values.
There are some beautiful fabrics here and I have to say I would probably never have bought most of them. I also have to say that all together they look scrummy and I'm so pleased I have them. It's inevitable I suppose that some of the fabrics just don't want to play nicely, or there will be one or two extras.
But I managed to get them into pleasing bundles which I think will work. The final two will stay together, I have a plan for them. It's not very obvious on this pic, but the flowers on the black do match the pink paisley.
I wondered if I might have problems with that red, but soon found it some friends.
All in all a very well behaved collection of fabrics.
I learned something too, I learned that four Jelly slices will make four sixteen patch blocks.
And that it won't take long to get all the blocks made!
I'd better go find something to use as sashing!
