Here is what one blogger did with her jelly roll race quilt: http://artquiltmaker.com/blog/2012/0...g-and-the-end/
I like it so much I'm thinking of making one just to cut up!

I cut up a couple of strips into 2.5 inch squares and inserted the squares at the end of each strip. It broke up the long strips nicely...however...I then commenced to sew it as instructed in the 1600 video...mine turned out too long and narrow and has I must say become a UFO.

I haven't been interested in making a 1600 - seemed rather boring. However, recutting and using it as background for applique makes for a stunning quilt! Can't wait to try it. Of course, I have to add it to my bucket list,but I do have several jelly rolls ~ ~ ~

I have! I can't find my camera (AUUGH!) or I would post pictures...I did a 1600 out of black/brown/yellow batiks and then cut it apart into 6-1/2" squares on the bias and then re-assembled those into 4-patch squares with black sashing between and black borders them to enlarge the quilt. It turned out pretty good! I gave it to my FIL for Christmas, he really liked it. It came out sort of evoking a feeling of inlaid wood due to the colors.
