The pattern said to pick 27 strips from the red jelly roll so I pulled 27 different fabrics in blues, tans, and browns for the body of the quilt. The rest of the jelly roll was used for the border. I wanted a masculine looking quilt. I used aged muslin by Marcus for my background. I have an accuquilt studio die cutter and decided to cut 4 each while I was cutting. The leftovers were put aside for another project. I repeated these same fabrics in the border. I chose to use only the browns and blues in the outside border as my inner border was tan. The pattern uses a 3/4" inner border (strips from the jelly roll cut in half) I made mine 2 inches finished as I was using yardage and thought their inner border was out of proportion. I had to do some seam adjustment in the outside border to make it fit.
