My Saturday goal on Jelly Roll Day (the fabric kind, not the bakery variety) was to finish piecing the back of my Calypso skirt.
I bought the initial jelly roll many years ago, then later bought coordinating Grunge yardage to cut into my own jelly roll strips and alternate with the Calypso strips for what I hoped might one day be the coolest dress on the planet.
I was short on Grunge strips after piecing the skirt front, which is still awaiting more machine embroidery along the seams. I'm not looking forward to doing that time-sucking project on the skirt back. But I want to wear the dress one day. So I will somehow muddle my way through.
After purchasing three different Grunge blues last year in an attempt to match what I'd bought years ago, I settled for one that was reasonably close but never cut the additional strips.
Until Saturday. The official Jelly Roll Day.
I finally counted how many blue strips are in the skirt front, counted how many blue stips I still have and discovered I need only two more stips. And yes, I did get them cut on Saturday. The official Jelly Roll Day. I'm ready to assemble the skirt back. Let's hope it doesn't take until next year's official Jelly Roll Day!
