Have you ever started something and hated it? A few years ago, I bought a Strawberry Fields jelly roll. When a friend was pregnant, I figured it'd make a great baby quilt, so I started out making roman square blocks. (sew strips in groups of three, cut into 6.5" lengths).
And I laid it out on the floor and hated it. So it all got thrown into a bag and left for dead.
At some point, as regular readers know, I chopped some of them into 2.5" lengths and made postage stamps. I quickly lost interest in that as well.
A couple of weeks ago, I pulled it out and started to make a table topper from the roman square blocks. And this time I liked it. Go figure. But I didn't have enough for a full quilt, so out came the postage stamps. And some yellow yardage. And it turned into this. From left for dead to a quilt I absolutely love. Strange how that works, isn't it?

What a great story behind the quilt, it's inspiring me to dig out a couple of abandoned projects myself!
