    Wow! Thank you for all the ideas, and the advice on mixing washed and unwashed fabrics.

    SylivaK: I like the bento box patterns quality of "featuring" the fabric
    HandcraftsbyJen and F'n'F: tube piecing is awesome - and those tutes make it look easy (and very tempting). I will definitely try a Summer in the Park quilt at some point...

    Now that I am not as worried about mixing up the washed and unwashed fabrics, I will be comfortable adding from my stash. I was also thinking about trying bargello for the first time...If any of this ever happens I will post pictures. (Don't hold your breath.)

    There is a pattern called Hidden Wells that might look great with your fabrics:

    If you figure out how to resist jelly rolls, I (& my Visa, for sure) would be interested to know what method you used... LOL! I can't help it... I'm hooked!

    There are some wonderful older patterns (i.e. traditional blocks from the 1800's) that would work beautifully with the jelly rolls.

    I bought a jelly roll on sale after the holidays, just to try it out. I didn't want to do a strippy quiilt, but had no idea what to do until I saw this video from the Missouri Star Quilt Co. I added a couple of fabrics from my stash and had a great time piecing it... quick fun and easy! I haven't decided on a set yet because I was having too much fun playing with the blocks. And now everything is packed away because we are moving in 2 weeks (I get a new sewing space!!) I can't wait to finish this one and try another jelly roll.

    Here's the vid:

    Post pics when you're done... your fabrics sound lovely!

    I want to do right by these fabrics, but it occurred to me after I placed my order that the jellyroll strips cannot be washed before quilting, and all of my stash fabric has been washed, so now I am uncertain about including fabric from my (extensive) William Morris stash holdings. Then I thought I would do a 1600 quilt - quick, simple, only requires the jellyroll...

    ...but the WM fabric seems too orderly (in a wild, untamed, beautiful way) to put it in such an asymmetric quilt.

    So, my question is: can anyone suggest a pattern that is symmetrical, but naturalistic; subtle, but dramatic; full of movement, but restful...and thus worthy of my WM jellyroll? And would it matter if I added stuff from my stash? Does modern fabric shrink that much? (I have always washed all of my fabric - no experience not washing it.)

    Looking forward to picking your brains...

    Alison

    PS Did I mention that I love Willliam Morris fabric?
    go to U-TUBE or GOOGLE & put in search............missouri star quilt company & then add jelly rolls & you'll come up with the EASIEST patterns from pre-cuts, an amazing site

    I started quilting over 30 years ago, and have prewashed about once. I found that I didn't like the 'feel' of the fabric and I was less accurate with a washed fabric. I have not even prewashed reds, blacks, or any dark colors. I have never had anything run. I guess that is because I wash the quilts in cold water and usually hang to dry. I continue merrily on my way. I enjoy discussions on to prewash or not to prewash. I consider a quilt a 'fine fabric.' I treat it as I would a silk blouse--carefully but understanding that it is a fabric and meant to be washed when it is necessary. Just my .02 cents today...
