Jelly Roll Race Question
I just unrolled a jelly roll. The fabrics are stacked from light to medium to dark -- they are all shades of blue. I was told to just start sewing them as they come off the pile. I'm concerned about how it will look in the end.
If someone else did theirs this way I'd love to see a photo to alleviate my fears.
I'm sure I'm worried over nothing, but I'm used to being more precise about colors and this willy-nilly jelly roll quilt is out of my comfort zone.
Feel free to berate me. I know everybody else thinks this is a great way to bang out a fast quilt.

it will come out beautifully. after the first strip is sewn, it will get doubled, then doubled again till it's about a twin size. it will come out great. show us what you did tomorrow. it doesn't take long, and as you sew, it goes together quickly.

You can start and see however you wish.

It will turn out beautiful either way. Just start and you'll be hooked. When I made a jelly roll race, I had to add additional strips at the end to make it longer. Proportion was the only problem I had with it.
