I have a passion for batiks. It has a tendency to overflow the one plastic bin that I try to use to contain my love of batiks. Sometimes to avoid my self-imposed rule of one tub of batiks, I buy a precut such as the Tonga Treat Square that I purchased of this collection. I also have a love of Jaybird Patterns and being able to sew unsual shapes without the hassle of y-seams. So needless to say, I love this quilt. 

This quilt top has actually had a short wait to become a quilt. I wanted a quick quilt that I could make to showcase the newest holiday collection at RQ. Snow Much Fun! (with an exclamation point) was the winner for my next shop sample because of the fun snowman toss that would make a great focus print.

Today's post features a quilt that was made with two jelly rolls, a natural solid jelly roll and a patriotic-themed jelly roll. This is a quilt that will be donated to a veteran through the QOV Foundation once it has been completed. 

Woohoo! I just went back and double checked my start date last year and I have a whole extra week to finish my 52 quilts! I thought that I had one week to quilt 8 more tops, but I actually have TWO weeks because I started this challenge on October 18th last year. I've totally got this under control :) 

The quilt top in this blog post was my July UFO project for the AllPeople Quilt UFO Resolution Challenge. I pretty much took the whole month to piece the top (there wasn't any sewing done before July 1st) so I just finally got around to the quilting.
