I did get Block 7 done for the Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along. I like this block but I'm really getting worried about the background, the blue, is also supposed to be the sashing. I think some of these blocks are going to look like they're floating and some look like the sashed blocks.
I didn't do a block because I really didn't like it/think it'd work so I've left it out for now but here are my blocks so far.
Here is the binding all done and the quilt washed and dried in a completely unstaged, unedited photo.
Like I said before it's not the best quality work, my seams are very much off, and my basting has improved, so has my quilting but I still love this quilt and am committed to using it.
So far it's been to soccer twice, once while being bound and once to cuddle up with.
I'm working on a project for Bake Shop which I can't show you until it's revealed there, which feels very odd since I normally show most of what I'm working on and excited about but I promise it shouldn't be too long!

I like your jelly roll blocks! I think you may just have to come up with something different for the sashing though. I was thinking the same thing about my blocks.
Cara, I think I would take the light from the fourpatch in the centre and put it in place of the blue around the block.
You could add a border to each block before you add the sashing, that would have a unifying effect and it's what I hope will work with the sampler quilt I'm working on at the moment!
That last jelly roll block is by far my favorite!!
I have had the same problem with the needle screw part getting worn by my free motion foot. I didn't know if I had the foot attached incorrectly or if it just wears down over time? Do you have a solution besides replacing it?
