I make jelly rolls and if I have more that one pattern i roll them all together, sometimes I sew them together to make long long strips then roll them up fasten with a fine pin and put it in a drawer.I just keep adding them from anything left over and when I have a nice matching set (colour or pattern) I add plains to them and make something from that. when you use plain colours it is amazing how colours that don't look right together with other patterns turn out fine with the plain colours just make sure you have plain colours to blend in tomatch the colours in your patterns you can't go wrong
