I did one recently- a small one, and made DH a garment bag out of it

Okay, here's my version, made from a Wal-Mart jelly roll. As you can see, there are only six different fabrics, so it has a bit of a different look than some of the others. It was quick, though... I was able to piece all of this on Sunday.

I made two of these, they were fun and easy. My problem was that they both turned out much narrower than they were long; out of proportion. So I have not quilted nor bound them yet.

I did not put borders on my vanilla Tonga Treats quilt; it was a bit smaller than I wanted it to be, so I really should have added borders. I just quilted down the middle of every other strip in a way that looked like a wavy line and then a loop to the right, then did it with the loop to the left. Bound it in a very light buttercream color. It's very peaceful looking.

Haven't seen that, but would love to see a picture when you are through.

I have never bought a jelly roll, but am intrigued by the possibilities. I find myself looking at different websites and envisioning what fun some of the jelly rolls would be made up into one of those quilts. Think I'll try it - most jelly rolls are 20-30 dollars and would make a nice size lap quilt. Sometimes you just need to do a project that is kind of a "no brainer." I knit and cross-stitch too and sometimes find it very relaxing to do an easy project that doesn't need too much concentration.

I made one and it was fun! The first several rounds seem to take forever but after that it went pretty quick.

This is your choice, but I prefer the angles myself. I made my angles sharper than I use for binding, just to make things more difficult for myself. :roll:[/quote]

I make my seams straight. Why waste the fabric on angled seams I like the look of the rows of straight lines with straight seams.
