I made this quilt with 2 Christmas jelly rolls that I bought when Joni Grace opened her quilt shop where the Guthrie County Art Council has their retail store now. As a fabric lover and a quilter, I don’t always have a plan when I buy fabric. This quilt was made using the pattern called “Two Step” from Annie’s Quilt Designs. You put a 1 ½ inch strip between 2 jelly roll strips. Then you cross cut them into 5 ½ inch blocks. You twist the blocks and put a 1 ½ inch sashing between the blocks and the rows.

I started this quilt when Jodi and the kids were staying with us for a week after the derecho hit their place in August of 2020. The grandkids took turns running the sewing machine “foot feet.” Since we were sewing long strips, I let them push the foot pedal until I said STOP. They stopped and I realigned the strips and we repeated the process several times.

This pattern can be used with scraps or any color combination. It goes together fairly quickly. This will go on a queen size bed. You can adjust this pattern to whatever size of quilt you want.

Deb Wilson at Farm Girl Studio machine quilted this quilt with her long arm machine.
