Rick, I think it looks great! One thing that might have changed things is that most jelly rolls are about 40 strips. I just quilted one and the sides were not straight. I quilted it and then trimmed it up. You could add a border if you wanted to make it wider. If you need to trim off some of the length 1st, I would use that in a pieced back.
I lived in Plattsburgh twice! My dad was stationed at the AFB the 1st time and the 2nd time we moved back there when my dad went to Vietnam. I went to Oak St Elementary and Plattsburgh JR high. My uncle moved there after the base was closed and lived in some of the base housing that had been renovated for seniors. I used to go to summer camp on Silver Lake. We could see Whiteface from the end of the lake. Miss the Adirondacks...lived in the desert for 20+ years! be sure to post a picture when you are finished!
