    I agree with Sally. I have made one jellyroll and I have seen a bunch of others, but I like yours the best. I think it's the smaller pieces.

    This looks so much better than when all the strips are sewed together the same length. They are wonderful quilts. Thanks for sharing this method.

    Thanks again for the kind words about my quilts. I pieced the tops, but had a couple of long arm quilters do the all over quilting. I have enough Christmas fabrics cut into strips, that I think I will make the back out of strips too...making it reversible.
