After i took the irish chain class, i just had to take another quilt class called the JellyBargelly. It was a 4 week long class with lots of homework :). When the intructor gave me my fabric, i looked at it and it wasnt the colors i had picked , i had originally ordered mauve and green . I settled for the brown tones that she gave me. The first day we had alot of cutting out to do and sewing strips together. Second day we made tubes and cut them into differents widths. Then the fun began, on the 3rd day of class sewing all the widths together. The 4th day i about made my self sick i was in so much pain , getting up and down off the floor arranging borders the sewing them together. I was out of commision for a couple of days in pain. My good freind from Georgia told me to lay the quilt top on my bed while assembling it and i tell you that made a world of difference. I ended up buying more fabric to make the jellybargelly into a queen size. The original size was a oversized lap quilt.
