I've used a jelly roll I bought at Calico Point. They sell both regular jelly rolls and rolls they cut themselves. Since jelly roll is a copyrighted term, Calico Point calls the rolls they cut a Calico Whirl.
I started sewing the strips on Saturday and finished the flimsy today. I really like the colors. I'm normally a symmetrical person but decided to the arrange the values asymmetrically.
I usually take pictures on the clothesline but I just checked the weather channel to see what the temperature is; 2 degrees, wind chill factor -16 degrees. Sorry, no way am I going to take a picture outside.
This was a fun, simple pattern to sew. I will definitely use this pattern again.

It's a great looking quilt. Our temps are mid 30s deg Celsius
Looks good. I haven't started mine yet. Hopefully will get to it tomorrow.
I like your colors, they make the quilt soft looking! Neat New Years project
I love how this came out. Great idea!
OK OK OK - You and Peggy now have sparked my interest in making an easy quilt!!!!! I have downloaded the pattern and joined the group - This one looks so much easier than BH On Ringo Lake - So glad I did not start that one! Now to decide what fabric and colors to use!!!!
Oh I like that!!! Very crisp and cozy. One busy lady

Nice job, I like how it came out. I hope to start mine this coming week.
I really like the blue and grey combo of colors you used in this quilt. Reminds me of the deep blue sea.
I love the colors in your quilt! Mine is also going to be in blues. I started cutting last night.
oh, dear! I'd have an indoor, shot, too! This has a really nice nautical/minimalist feel!
I need to start mine too! Your colors are so pretty! I love the toned down look of the blues!
What a wonderful way to start off the New Year!!
Hi Gretchen,
This really turned out nicely! I hope it was as easy to put together as we all think it is! I think you are the quickest to get their flimsy together (not that it's a race!). Have you decided how you're going to quilt it? I just LOVE the colors and how you arranged them. ~smile~ Roseanne
The quilting on the quilt that was displayed on your blog had way lines horizontally. I thought I would do something similar.
I had decided I was NOT going to do this quilt until I had the binding sewn on the 4-patch quilt, which I completed. I had pulled this jelly roll right after I read your post in November, I knew this would be the perfect fabrics and it was! It probably won't get quilted soon but it will happen sometime this spring.
This was a fun project. So many of my quilts are long term projects that take months, if not years.
Love it! The simple design looks really sharp, and great colors.
This is a nice pattern. I hope you link up the finish once it's quilted. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF.
