Guess What I'm Doing Today?


Have you heard about the Jelly Roll Races? Or the Jelly Roll 1600?

Using one jelly roll {40 - 2.5" wide width-of-fabric (42-44") strips}...



...and by following the instructions HERE, you can make a 48"x64" quilt top very quickly! 


Watch these ladies...





Amazing, isn't it?



I'm planning on using a Holly Taylor jelly roll "A Simpler Time"...


...along with strips from this fabric (which blends much better than it seems from these two photos)...


...replacing several of the tone-on-tone dark/black fabrics.  I plan to use at least two borders since the young gentleman for whom this quilt is intended is 6'5" tall and the quilt needs to be a tad bit longer.

One of the borders will be this fabric (which also blends perfectly)...



Backing will be pieced most likely... haven't decided for sure yet.

So that's what I'm going to be doing today... jelly roll racing!  Let the fun begin!


Any bets on how long it's going to take me???
