    I need a finished quilt in three days. I have a jelly roll all sewn in one strip for another jelly roll race pattern. I am going stitch long strips of batting in while I sew. Then sew across to make a squares. Will it work, I don't know but I'm going to try. :lol: See you in a few hours. :thumbup:

    Think before speaking.... I have to have two jelly roll strips ready to sew before it will work. I will be cutting strips from one color fabric for the backing and sewing them together. If I'm thinking right, I'll just have to sew the batting and backing one time? I have a vision it will work but if it will, is a guess.

    I think it would be neat to piece the top, sandwich, then quilt on the diagonal....kind of like you would criss-cross going through a nine-patch. Maybe in a 2 inch pattern

    I agree with Jaci..I think it will take you longer to cut the pieces...sew the top then quilt it with a stitch in the ditch and call it done...crafty_linda_b
