I made one for Project Linus using about 22 strips instead of 40. I wasn't real pleased with the result, so I cut it into about 5 inch strips, added a 3 inch sashing in-between each section (I think there were 3 sections so that would result in two sashing strips, added a border and voila! Much better. Don't have a picture, but it was very simple and turned out cute with novelty fabrics and kona solids mixed in.

I actually enjoy making these. One time I ended up with too much of one colour near each other, so I frogged one seam, flipped it over and re-sewed it. Much better! I do love the way Caroloto cut and re-assembled hers. I might try that some time. The reason I like these jelly roll quilts is they are mindless and I can just tune out while doing them. Sometimes I like to keep my hands busy but my mind not so.
