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.

I love your quilt! This is why I like seeing what people have made. I wouldn't of made it because I didn't care for the picture on the pattern but your's is sooooo pretty. I've been looking for a pattern for a jelly roll that's been sitting on top of my desk for a couple of months and this'll work perfectly. It definately doesn't look easy but after reading the instructions (repeatedly:)) I think I can handle it. Thanks again for posting the pic & enjoy your pretty, pretty quilt!!

Very beautiful quilt for a special friend. I know she will be most appreciative every time she cuddles up under it. I have a new appreciation of jelly roll strips. We all need a quick go-to pattern whether for special friends or babies.

Love your blue tan and brown quilt. Great fabric choices for this. Hard to believe that went together quickly, it looks deceivingly complex. Thanks also for the link to the pattern.
