"10 minute block"

And if I don't have to look at it, except while sewing it, I will be okay with it. I think. I have to make a quilt for a granddaughter next and will be doing the 10 minute block, but then I have two boys to make for...if I can find masculine fabrics I think this will be great...easy and fun!

I may try another with shorter strips next time to get a more "scrappier" look.
Do you think it would work?

jelly roll quilt
Don't know if this has been posted but this really isn't a new concept and if you go to youtube and google jelly roll race you can find the visual instructions there. I did one sbout a month ago at my quilt store and you have to be careful some come out looking great and some don't. We had a couple of ones that looked great,in fact mine won for best looking. I would use a roll that limits the color combinations and we all noticed that the ones made with batiks looked better than traditional fbric.

My first Jelly Roll type scrappy quilt top
I really enjoyed making this quilt. I'm a relatively new quilter and this is only my second quilt but there is no doubt I'll be making this fun quilt again....so fast and so much fun. I didn't have a Jelly Roll so I just cut from scraps that I had. I will buy fabric and cut my own strips again....it didn't take long at all to cut them and costs so much less. I joined my strips with a diagonal seam...which I like but think I may do a straight seam on the next one.....after I figured out that with every 2.5 strip you join on the diagonal you loose 1 3/4 inch of of the strip....that certainly adds up when you are joining 40 strips.

I'm looking for a pattern for a throw pillow that is made from strips I thought it was posted on quilting board. I copied it but now can't find it ( after spending about 3 days looking). Can any one help me? Karissa
