The pattern said to pick 27 strips from the red jelly roll so I pulled 27 different fabrics in blues, tans, and browns for the body of the quilt. The rest of the jelly roll was used for the border. I wanted a masculine looking quilt. I used aged muslin by Marcus for my background. I have an accuquilt studio die cutter and decided to cut 4 each while I was cutting. The leftovers were put aside for another project. I repeated these same fabrics in the border. I chose to use only the browns and blues in the outside border as my inner border was tan. The pattern uses a 3/4" inner border (strips from the jelly roll cut in half) I made mine 2 inches finished as I was using yardage and thought their inner border was out of proportion. I had to do some seam adjustment in the outside border to make it fit.

I love your quilt! This is why I like seeing what people have made. I wouldn't of made it because I didn't care for the picture on the pattern but your's is sooooo pretty. I've been looking for a pattern for a jelly roll that's been sitting on top of my desk for a couple of months and this'll work perfectly. It definately doesn't look easy but after reading the instructions (repeatedly
) I think I can handle it. Thanks again for posting the pic & enjoy your pretty, pretty quilt!!

Very beautiful quilt for a special friend. I know she will be most appreciative every time she cuddles up under it. I have a new appreciation of jelly roll strips. We all need a quick go-to pattern whether for special friends or babies.
