Last night while I was watching Track events and Gymnastics, I was working on another quilt. The pattern is called Jelly Roll Race. I thought it was fitting to be watching the track races at the same time.
Go to this link to see a video of how to construct a Jelly Roll Race Quilt. You may notice that the lady on the video says the quilt can be constructed in 45-60 minutes. I don't know how she can sew so fast. I worked on it for 2 1/2 hours and am only about half done. I guess watching Olympics and trying to sew at the same time doesn't help my speed. I have to stop sewing and watch, after all!
I hope to get it finished some time today. (Minus the borders...I have something fun in mind for that that will take a bit more work.) But I guess before I lock myself in my sewing room I should go buy some groceries. The fridge is pretty empty. Hubby hasn't had any juice for breakfast for three or four days. Poor guy.
Happy Monday!

Haha - I was watching last night too. I thought it was funny how they show the girls gymnastics in a real-time format, but the mens high bar stuff was condensed (I sort-of like that better - I don't feel like waiting so long between gymnasts)
When I saw those strips right away I thought "I wonder if she is going to take those scraps and sew them end to end to make some ribbons like the rhythmic gymnasts for some kids or something :)
I know what you mean about not loving sports but loving watching the Olympics. Maybe its because our world comes together and seeks a common goal (for once!) and these people are in it because they are good, and have a goal - not for the money (unlike pro sports). Whatever it is, I'm glued too :) Especially any of the gymnastic events, and figure skating and skiing in the winter :)
