MANY TAW, START OF MY JOURNEY

 
This quilt will commemorate
our travels while we 
were young...
👵👴

3 European trips:
2 with Tom and
1 with my Mom when I
took her to Ireland...

and 3 cruises...

So ....
"Many Trips Around the World"

I am using these very
scrappy leftover 
jelly roll strips--
all cut 16" long +/-

I cut two from the same strip 
and
only one from others..
and 

I am using Bonnie Hunter's
instructions:
↨↨↨

I still haven't figured out quite yet
how/when to iron seams...??
(Any hints out there?)

So far, I've tried AFTER tube is sewn,
then BEFORE tube is sewn;
and I am not that happy 
with either result...
the 2nd block on the 
right above is a bit wonkey!!

I ironed those seams 
on the wonkier one 
BEFORE
I sewed the tube together..
I think the 
the other one came out better...

I think it will be fun twisting 
and turning them
to find what I like best 


*********************
I send all best wishes to all of you 
out there celebrating 
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND...

Hugs, Julierose,
