This time I did the rectangle variation. Instead of joining the strips with diagonal seams, I inserted a 2 1/2"x4 1/2" rectangle between them. I've seen some online with rectangles, squares etc. Don't know who originally did it with rectangles but it was a great idea!
Lately I've been buying quite a few striped fabrics. It's all the fault of Mari at the Quilting Edge. Her quilts are amazing. She works with stripes and solids and the results are unbelievable. One of these days I'm going to try her quilt as you go technique for making improvisational quilts. I especially like her quilt as you go Log Cabin. Her tutorial for quilt as you go is really well done.
Anyway, I'd like to say that it's the last Jelly Roll 1600 you will see here, but that would be a lie - they are just too fun to make!
Happy Stitching

I don't think there's such a thing as too many JR1600 quilts, Corina! This one is lovely - I like the little joiner blocks - the stripe really gives it a bit of pop! I like the "no colour colours" moniker - very appropos, lol!
This quilt puts an entirely fresh look at these jelly roll quilts.
L♥ove this earth-toned design. Very, very nice.
Also, thanks for the link.
hugs.

Another awesome quilt top! Love the stripe and how it gives such sparkle. Great choice.
Wow, I really love this quilt....that stripe just gives it the pop it needs. Thanks for the lovely compliments and the link back.
What a great stripe fabric! I like all the browns and the stripe really adds to your quilt! Your newest follower!

It looks fabulous! Love the stripe breaking into the strips. Colours are terrific too. ann :-)
Love that JR 1600!
It looks great with those blocks of stripes adding in.
I have got to get my list of UFOs done so that I can start some of these jelly roll quilts.
Love the colors...you have such a way with colors.
Looking good Corina!!
Remember to refill your wallet for your next trip for fabrics... ;)
Oh no - not the last! All those Jelly Rolls have taken on a life of their own and are just too tempting.
While I am a very conservative quilter, using stripes in blocks and bindings is always fun - they just add so much interest to the quilt no matter where they are placed.
Great job!
