Stampin’ Up ( SU) Bag, a limited $50 value,
offered only to those signing up
To be a SU demonstrator.

That bag was a sign…
perhaps I’ll find more Stampin’ Up stuff?

I entered the second room and well….HELLO!

1600 MASH UP!

I was inspired by a photo of a quilt at this years 
‘Airing of the Quilts’
held at Venice Beach FL
I don’t know the maker so I can’t credit them, 
butbthey are a member of thr SWFMQG


I had a hoarded Jelly Roll of WEEDS, by
me and My Sisters Designs, paid $22
Now look at the pricing on Etsy! 


I didn’t want the red strips as
I was thinking a more scrappy feel.


I just used the black and white strips.


At the end of each strip I added 
Five, 2.5 x 5” random color scrap pieces. 


I added just one wonky strip of border to one side of the top! 
And then the mash uo was finished 


I quilted it with long organic straight lines 


And this was the binding…just perfect! 


Them I was off to the Topiary Park for a photo op,
The topiaries in this downtown park is
designed to depict the figures from
George’s Seurat's 1884 painting,
‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jeffie’ 
I saw the original painting in Chicago
At the Chicago Art Institute, in 2016.


Sew this was a special photo op.


















I hope you like my 1600 Mash Up of the Traditional 1600” Jelly Roll quilt.
