I sewed one seam on Saturday.

Sew Day was Saturday and I went with the Jelly Roll long strip batting and 4 wound bobbins in my bag.
Amy and I pretty much got to it as soon as we got set up. She is making the rectangular rug and I am making the oval version.

Since I already had my strips sewn together, I started closing up the jelly roll’s seam. It took me several hours to make headway and I didn’t even finish that one step. I had grand illusions of getting the whole rug finished because I had sewn my strips together. HA!
This is not a difficult project. It is slightly tedious, but great for Sew Day because I could easily talk and sew and not make mistakes.
I used up one whole bobbin already. One seam one bobbin. It’s crazy since I am not even finished with that seam.
