Jelly Roll Quilt Along

 First off it seems I hit a nerve with the frenemie issue!  Sounds like we all have them. Thank you for your commiserations, and advice. I'm going to fix the binding, and I'll show pictures later.

 I've been waffling about doing the Jelly Roll Quilt Along over at Moose On Porch Quilts. I have a couple of Jelly rolls that I could use. So I finally bit the bullet and got my Sanctuary roll out. I knew I didn't want to use white for a background because there are so many white prints in the line. So I hit the fabric store while Little Bit was in tutoring. What do you think?

What do you think? The blue is actually a bit brighter then in the pictures but it's the best I could get at twilight.

uhm...I think I need to see it mixed in with the fabric...it looks a little bold, but if it's a good match, bold would be a good contrast to that fabric.

HA! Blue isn't a color I would have picked, but you know what? I think you have a good eye and I always seem to like whatever you come up with, so I'm looking forward to seeing it--I bet it will be terrific! And yes, I can see what you mean about not wanting white--I'm working on something like that with a Schnibbles pattern.

I just saw your block in the Flickr pool for the Jelly Roll Sampler--yep, the blue looks terrific!
