Jelly Roll Race Quilt

It seems that I finally am over the worst of my cold. I haven't left the house in a few days and desperately need to take my dogs for a long walk today. They just may be as stir crazy as I am.
I am also a little behind in posting projects. Here is my niece's birthday present.
