Thanks everybody!

Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes, and whatever else these collection of precuts across a whole fabric range are called look very attractive, but are really only fun for quilters who like things that are scrappy. I have struggled before with another jelly roll that was a gift, but managed to turn it into a simple large quilt with the addition of two plain fabrics. One of these days I'll tell you all the story.

The quilt is going back and forth between the home and hospital with the mother of one of my special needs students. Mum has cancer and says that the quilt cheers up her, her family, the nurses, and the doctors. The quilt is held up by my 6''1' son, so you get an idea of size.

I like to use layer cakes for quick coordinated throws or lap quilts but also if I am doing an applique project that needs a lot of colors.
