I want to make up my own Jelly Roll-like group of fabrics for another Super Secret Project #3.
I remembered seeing these fabrics together after I bought them so I pulled them out and started trying to find some mates. I need about 45 strips, which means 45 different fabrics. That is not a MUST, but that is what I am thinking.
I pulled out some batiks and they were fine (pinks and oranges only-photo is of all of the FQs), but not perfect. I think what I saw was too much of a range of color. I need a range for some contrast, but think my mind doesn’t want too much of a range.
I really thought it would be no problem to pick 40 fabrics, but suddenly, I am not so sure. Should I add some red? Some pink? What do you think a Jelly Roll would have in it?
I know you are all sick of not seeing the finished pieces, but I promise that after I make this piece, I will be MUCH closer to showing you what I am working on.
Your posts may not show finishes lately, but you are whetting our appetites!
Thanks, Carole!
Isn’t it fun to play with your stash! Anyone who buys fabric only for a specific project is missing out completely 😉
I love you, Carol! You are exactly right. That is what is fun about fabric. Well, one thing.
who says we want to see finishes??? I enjoy seeing your process!
Thanks! I’ll keep up the process posts. It’s all I have right now! 😉
Super Secret Project #4! Don’t forget the one the second one I pieced!
What? did you give it to me? Am I losing my mind?
Like the contrast with the darks but not the dark green.
Great color combination!!
Thanks! I just need 39 more!
I am seriously drooling over here over those batiks Jaye!
Keepsake Quilting. I am sure they still have them. The group is cut in fat quarters, which isn’t very much fabric IMO!
