This is the last top I am making (this week) for my friend opening a quilt shop. I am taking a week off from work this week and while we are building a patio, I still hope to do some personal sewing. This quilt was made using the Jelly Roll race method, and I added a 2 1/2" square of a white on white to each strip. That first long seam is a doozy! But it goes together really fast!

The white squares really look good with the reds! Very pretty!

Wow, that's very nice, wonder how it would look with black squares now. Love the bright pinks and reds you chose. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The white really adds to it

Very cool idea....brilliant colours.

nice job! Like so many others I really like the white squares.

I love the idea of using a contrasting color square with the strips. It makes the other color pop and gives it some more pattern to look at (if that makes sense). Plus red is my favorite color. :) I'm going to have to try this!

I like the outcome of this method better than the original pattern. Those little white squares really make a difference!

BETTY62 08-07-2011 09:56 PM

I love the addition of the white blocks.

Those white squares really do add a pop to it. Good for you.

Gigi07 08-07-2011 09:59 PM

I love it... great idea

Did you use a jelly roll of pick the colours yourself? It's really attractive.

Nanamoms 08-08-2011 01:15 AM

I really like the white squares. Beautiful quilt.

Those white on white blocks make it so interesting! I like this much better than the standard Jelly Roll Race quilts! Beautiful, and thanks for the inspiration.

The friend I am sewing for sent me the fabrics. It is a 2 1/2" strip set from Blank Quilting. All reds, I added the white from my stash.

That is so sharp how you added the block. It looks great. Good luck on your new project

jme 08-08-2011 06:40 AM
