After class and blogging and client meetings and choir practice, I watched Leverage and worked on Dutchman's Puzzle.I think it's going to be very pretty. I've got three rows completed and sewn together. That's half of the middle section.
The pattern I was ostensibly following at some point when I started had just blocks all set together and bound with a binding made by sewing together all the bits of the jelly roll left over after the piecing.
Then I saw the same block with sashing in Quilting for Harvest, liked it better, and switched to that pattern. It has a plain narrow border and a plain wide border, with a contrast binding.
But there are all these little triangles left over, and I'm thinking that I could piece a scrappy narrow border with them. Then I could add a plain border, and do the scrappy binding as discussed.
I'm definitely a fan of the jelly roll now.

I was thinking of taking a quilting class this fall - which pattern(s) do you think would work best for a novice quilter - and imperfect sewer?
I'm a very imperfect sewer myself! I think the kind of quilt made of rectangles/squares is the easiest.
