Patterns, patchworks and projects
If the spring weather has you craving quicker projects so you can get outside, go checkout Crafty Quickies Linky Party at The Country Chic Cottage. There, I found this Quick and Easy Jelly Roll Party Banner project created by Courtney of Sweet C’s Designs. Quilters, if some of your Jelly Roll (precut fabrics) are collecting dust, why not use them for a banner like Courtney did; they can always be used later. Go to Craft Quickies 15 Minute Projects.

What sets “Holiday Hoopla” apart is its versatility. While the quilts are designed to commemorate specific days and events, their timeless style ensures that they can be enjoyed year-round.

This banner was so fun.. and took under five minutes. And all I need to do is press the wrinkles from where the knots were to re-use the fabric!
You can also use this technique to turn old shirts, sheets, or long fabric scraps into a banner!
