I originally made a Jelly Roll Race quilt out of scrappy, 2 1/2 inch strips of different lengths. They were basically left over from other projects and when I finished it I didn't care for it and stuck it into the UFO pile. When I got it out again to work on, I decided to treat the quilt top as fabric and cut it into 9 1/2" blocks. I happened to be looking at Karla Alexander's book, Color Shuffle, at the time and liked the Plaid Passions pattern... so my quilt is based loosely on that pattern, although I made it narrower because I like "banner" size so I can hang it on my wall.
I've got it basted (and the pins are closed) now and I'm getting ready to start quilting it. I'm going to do a plaid quilting design... should be easy and I think it will look great with the quilt.
Take care,

I love it. Anxious to see if finished. Daughter wants a quilt for her bed but I am not motivated...
So nice to see this post. Sally
Wow Terri, what a great idea, I might want to copy this idea. I do like making the jelly-roll race, but sometimes feel it's just a little too simple, nice way to fancy it up. I can see why it has become one of your favourites.
A super colourful quilt, beautiful fabrics in there Terri. Now U thought I had a number of projects on the go but you beat me with31!
This is so YOU! It's going to be fantastic -- and good for you for tackling those pesky UFOs.
This is the first JRR quilt that I've seen that I liked and I like it a lot!
