Interesting. I quilted one for a customer and it was batisks in purples, blues, greens, and that was the jelly roll quilt I like the best of any I've seen. The colors just all seemed to blend well. I did a jelly roll quilt in May and after I had it all done, I took apart about 5 of the horizontal seams and repositioned my rows so I could spread out some of the colors more as some of the colors were kind of lumped together in spots. This is not the greatest pattern for me as I am way to anal about scrappy looking quilts. I need the colors all dispersed evenly. I really like the quilt now that I took some of the rows apart and repositioned them .
