Thank you!! I used 48 strips out of a 50 strip jelly roll so yes, it was a fairly big roll!

The Latte Quilt is lovely and you will enjoy it when it is finished - I never have - but have seen many that have been made up.

Thank you! I just sewed the strips together, cut them into blocks and picked them up and sewed them together...totally random!

Hi Toogie, thank you for your comments! A jelly roll consists of (usually) between 40 and 50 strips of fabric, about 2.5 inches wide, which is then cut down and sewn together any way you like!! I did the top quilting by machine and finished the binding off by hand.
109779Well i think it looks good:):)have you a plan now for your next one???hugs carolyn

Yes....my plan is to get someone with a long arm to do the quilting!! ;-). I'm working on a very large embroidered quilt but fortunately that one is quilt-as-you-go!!
