Looking for manly jelly roll
#13
Just so you can see, here are a couple of my blocks from the Indigo Collection from Moda. All the strips you see are from the collection save for one — in the right block the floral cream is not a Moda fabric.

I think is a very ambitious task for my level of skills but.... no pain no gain!!!!

I'm just starting a "manly" geometric quilt using Moda Marbles--warm colorway: http://www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/...arm-jelly-roll
There are 4 each of 10 colors...very rich, very masculine.

Carla, Love your blocks, My idea for mine is a geometric modern look, and then make some sashiko embroidery and add patches like a boro.

I was going to suggest batiks. Check out Connecting threads. The only problem with batiks is that it may be difficult to get enough contrast in the fabrics, so you might have to cut your own strips of the lighter fabrics. Or buy a jr of just lighter fabrics to add to the rest of the jr.

I would probably make my own JR because I don't think the standard number would make a large enough quilt and when I tried to find fabric to go with it, I could not find anything to my liking. (It ended up in the box sent to someone else to complete. Using the theory of one man's trash is another man's treasure.)
