I ended up convincing most of them to cheat and do some strategic inserts to break up the jellyrolls...one did some erratic half square triangles in black and white...added lots of fun!YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16105542.post-30545194498203418292011-05-22T07:00:45.438-05:002011-05-22T07:00:45.438-05:00We missed you at the worknight, but that ethnic to...We missed you at the worknight, but that ethnic tour sounds like it would be a lot of fun!Maggie Szafranskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01499613559098406601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16105542.post-59249626150959624472011-05-19T06:08:46.384-05:002011-05-19T06:08:46.384-05:00Not really a great fan of Jelly Rolls.

I've also done the end to end variety Wanda described.<br /><br />I, too, like the look of the quilt on Butterbean's blog (pattern available on Etsy, I find out).<br /><br />I made ONE t-shirt quilt - that is enough for me!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16105542.post-7834480346577410492011-05-18T13:39:44.759-05:002011-05-18T13:39:44.759-05:00I don't like most of those quilts because the ...I don't like most of those quilts because the fabric selections aren't too great. A friend of mine did a different approach. She sewed them all end to end and then chose a length she wanted the quilt to be and cut it off into many pieces that length. Then she had more control of what went where when sewing them back together. I also like a straight joining seam better than the diagonal.Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16105542.post-67886034324084729462011-05-18T13:28:53.640-05:002011-05-18T13:28:53.640-05:00Someone is going to be so happy to receive the jel...Someone is going to be so happy to receive the jelly roll quilt! I think I'd like to do something like that soon... And the t-shirt quilt is going to be fantastic.
