I'm just fiddling around today - have been playing with a jelly roll I ordered quite some time ago. There is a quilt I have seen on the internet that I really like and found out it is called merry-go-round. Looks like hexagons set together and at first glance appears to have lots of intricate piecing. However, it's easy peasy!!! Done in rows, it is easy sewing. I have decided, though, that this fabric is not the look I am going for so this will be a very nice, bright table topper.
This will be the size of it approximately but I may change out a couple of the blocks. Looks nice and springy especially on a snowy day. The only drawback I can see is binding!!!!! I imagine it will have to be bias binding and lots of nipping and tucking to get around the edge. I could add pieces to make it straight but I think I will just go for it and give it a try. Later on, I plan to make another one using this same block in a smaller size and in sweet little Aunt Gracie fabrics. That should be cute as a button.
