I am in the process of making a courthouse steps quilt that Jenny Doan made out of a jelly roll. Don't know why but have been having a desire to make some kind of log cabin quilt so decided to go with Courthouse Steps.

I like to mix strips and large scale prints or framed prints like these quilts.

You could add some from your stash and make Many Trips Around the World Bonnie Hunter style.

I know that Block magazine has a beautiful 9 patch with less than one jelly roll. Cut your jelly roll into 2.5" squares and use your background. I had a jelly roll from Kaffe Fasset fabric that was ugly to me, and I made the prettiest lap quilt using Kona Snow with it. Added a small purple border and a larger off beat lavender polka dot. I just alternated the Kona Snow with the Kaffe fabric squares, but a 16 patch works great too. I made some charity quilts using 2.5 squares in 4 patches and alternated them on point with solid fabrics. They looked so good, I kept one.

KenmoreGal2, I have never seen quilts like yours. They are so unique and good to use large florals.
I REALLY like your quilts, thank you for showing us.

I like to make placemats with strips, especially batik ones.

I was just informed by my SIL they he and everyone else would love a quilted beer cozy...or a knitted one. That would take at least 32 strips to make them all.

There are lots of ideas for using Jelly Rolls on Pinterest. Like ArlaJo suggested, you could make a Friendship Braid, and if your 32 strips aren’t enough, you could intersperse them with solid colors:

or add solid color columns between the columns:

Thanks for posting! You made my day. I just finished the quilt below, another variation on the same theme. I designed them all. They are super fast to make.
