    You might try http://jellyrollfabrics.net They have lots of pictures of quilts made from jelly rolls. Just give your e-mail address on the right hand side of the page.

    I would have to do a boxed squares and jelly roll race. I have another one in progress - snowball alternating with 9 patch blocks (with all squares different). That would be good for misc 2.5" squares.

    If posting a pic, instead of quick reply go to the blue "Go Advanced" button. Type in your reply in the box. Upload pictures not by the image icon (the little tree) on the above bar but through the blue "Manage Attachments" button. You will get a separate dialog box. Select "Browse" to find the pic file; double click then click on blue "Upload" button. Do this for each picture. Then click on "Submit Reply" button. No double pics for me so far using this method.

    I've been wondering what you've been up to--now I know. I would like to give this block a try. Just used neutrals and blues to make the quilt quick in EQ, but a scrappy look can be used. Like a log cabin it can be turned to get a new look to the quilt. This is a 10" block, but add another pair of logs for a 12" block or as many pair to get the size you want .

    Tube quilts! If you want to use up the strips faster, don't add any white. Just seperate the strips into lights and darks and alternate them in the tube. Quick and fun!

    Also, Bento Box pattern out of strips is just about my favorite. Again, alternating darks and lights....

    A lot of wonderful ideas have been posted. In my own experience, bags of scraps play hanky panky, when you turn out the lights, so in actuality you will never...ever...get to the bottom of those bags. ;-)

    This beauty was posted today and would be perfect. Sort your strips by colors and combine them. Either an all vibrant, shades of one color, reproductions, vintage or just mix them all. You will get a great quilt with this pattern.
    peace
