More Crochet Squares and Jelly Roll Quilt Update

As expected, my new set of crochet magazines arrived the day after I had completed the other squares.
I've now done them, including one that I had forgotten to do from the last batch.  Now, I really am up to date!
I've also attached the border to my Jelly Roll Quilt.  This wasn't the colour I was looking for when I went out to buy fabric, but it just seemed to work, I hope.   I shall use the same fabric on the back.
I then spent forever cutting 31/2" strips from the remainder of the jelly roll and sewed them together to prepare the binding.  I think I have enough here, but if not, there are plenty of pieces to make some more. 

By the looks of things, I shall be making cushions to use up all the pieces

Very productive.
I like the border on your jelly roll quilt. I saved all the patterns for that one, but didn't make a start yet.

Your JR quilt is looking good! That pieced binding is really going to pull it all together nicely I think! :0)

Nice raspberry color for border. Like the use of the jelly roll for the binding.
Keep crocheting the squares look interesting

I like your border fabric and the binding will be great. Moving right along...

Your crochet blocks are so cute too.
