Truthfully got the jelly roll at Our Big Lot store enough to make a full quilt and 2 charm pk but Im not sure about the bright colors. what do you think of the colors?

I think it looks very pretty!

I like it. I am not a fan of orange, but this quilt has a nice "Fall" theme. I like the design, too.

Nice job and very pretty. What kind of border are you thinking of adding? I wold like an orange for myself.

Looks really nice - good job. I made my first jelly roll quilt for the holidays and enjoyed doing it. Quick, easy and not very expensive.

The blocks are 91/2 square and I haven't figure out any boreder yet ,thinking about some how using the charm pack.........I have 3pk of 24pc and 3 of each color to pack. Can some EQ me if I have enough and make picture of what it might look like ?? I would be very greatful!!
Oh there are 30 blocks also?

Terrific quilt....you did great with it.Nothing wrong that I can see color wise...

Great pattern! Looks like flying seagulls to me. Manly colors!!!! I like it.

I love it. Great colors and great pattern.

I keep looking at your picture because I like these colors and I would never have picked them myself. If they are not sewn together you need to rearrange some of the blocks. On the right they make a "boxed in" pattern which is not seen on the rest of the quilt...I like the seagull pattern myself.

I love it! You got that jelly roll at Big Lots?
I would never have thought they would have fabric.
Great quilt!

Definitely a good quilt; love autumn colors myself. From Big Lots, huh? Good buy.

I also see something wrong with the last two columns on the right. Didn't see it right away, was oogling the colors. lollll Seem to be making a square in a square pattern in those two columns.

Nice quilt.

No there not sewed together yet just laying on my bed to see the patterns.

I think that's beautiful! I've also seen the jelly rolls at Big Lots but wasn't sure about how good the quality of fabric is. Do you like it? Is it comparable to what you would find at Joann's?

If your blocks are currently 9.5" squares and you use quarter inch seams to join 30 of them in five rows of six blocks each, that will give you a quilt center that finishes at 45" x 54". If your charms are 5" squares and you want to use them as the border you would need a total of 48 of them ( 2 x 10 = 20 for the shorter sides + 2 x 12 = 24 for the two longer sides + 4 for the corners). Your three packs of 24 each should be more than enough.

I'll attach a drawing. Not exactly your blocks and colors but perhaps close enough to give an idea of what I'm trying to say.

thanks a lot for doing that for me that gives me a better idea on how to go with layout , will add to my favorite list so can look back on. Ty Bozie
