Poppies in progress
I think the 1600 jelly roll quilts can be kind of boring if the fabrics aren't really interesting. But I had a black and white jelly roll I really wanted to do something with but I didn't want to spend tons of time on it. So this quilt is coming to life now. I did the 1600 jelly roll and left two strips out so it would be just a little smaller. Now I'm going to applique giant orange poppies on it. I just have the first poppy pinned to the top. I still need to iron the seams in the top and stay stitch the edges before I start the applique. It'll have three poppies and a couple of buds plus stems and leaves when it's done.

I love this quilt! That makes a great background! You're so smart!
The other day I saw a nifty variation on the Jelly Roll Race quilt. That I remember... you pick a focus fabric (tho I think I'd use a solid that I might use again as a border) & sew a piece at the end of each strip before you sew the strips together. I can't remember what size the pieces were or if they were all similar or different sizes but I think you could do either one. It made a really neat quilt & I think I'd going to use this variation when I make my next JRR.
