Skeat---I love your "jelly roll thing". It is a great way to weed out fabrics that aren't going to work. There is nothing worse than making a quilt then having one fabric that just doesn't play well with others. I will be doing the jelly roll thing from now on.

What's the jelly roll??You stack fabric on the rolled edge (or fold)...stack as many as you can and still roll them like a jelly roll so you see the folded edge....then take that jelly roll outside....if you don't see a color that is going to pop at you immed....or one that sticks out like a sore thumb...then it is a 'go'...:)make sense???One that won't work will just sit and stare at you inthis pile...so, you pull it out right then..It works great!!! And, w/all your color choices Marcia....the colors and patterns bring out a rich texture!! It will look super!! JMHO...>Skeat |

Woooooo hooooooo Skeat
Your blocks are so scrummy ( ask Marcia ) this is one of my favourite words LOL. :P Love, love, love your blocks to date. Mine are still to be started. I've got as far as washing & pressing all the fabrics & they are all hung up ready to go on clothes hangers. :) I chose to use the same browns for the urn's but have an assortment of all different reds & blues & creams. Let me know what you think of the colours together. January looks good to me Marcia :wink: |
