Jelly roll race question
After all strips are sewn together, and don't like it, how do you cut it up to reposition the looks. I think I saw a post about cutting into squares or something. Please help.

Just fold it as you would yardage & cut it into strips they can all be the same size or vary them.
then mix them up, turn them upside down & it will change the pattern. You will end up with a smaller quilt in doing this. |
Here are links I found that might give you some inspiration:

thanks for asking this question. I will be following along to see some of the results.

I have also seen where people have appliqués on top such as Long stem flowers or a sprinkle of stars.

I'm one who made it, didn't like it, so I cut it again width-wise and made a postage stamp quilt. Don't have finished pictures yet, but this will give you an idea...

This quilt started as a racer - I cut it into blocks on the bias, added some sashing and borders...taadaa! (Sorry it's kind of blurry, but you get the idea...)

Peckish - every time I see this quilt I think, "I've gotta make one like that!" I love that quilt it inspires me every time I see it. Please do post finished pics when you get around to it. :)

So funny, the person who made the quilt didn't like it but the rest of us do! Do we have preconceived ideas when we do a project like this? I actually like both the before and after quilts posted above.
