    Default What to do with these Bali pops/jelly rolls

    Recently I took a bit of a trip 1200klms round trip. I managed to find these jelly rolls I have had someone call them Bali pops?!!? Any way they aren't exactly the same so I am wondering what could I do with them??? Please excuse the pink and black one in pic. It's the only pic I have of them. I can't get jelly rolls locally so they are a bit of a special thing to me. And would love some suggestions
    Thanks all

    The batiks will go with each other in various/ many jelly roll patterns. I had some smaller rolls of jelly rolls that I combined to make a good size lap quilt. You can do something as simple as a fence rail, Jenny's summer in the park would be great combined with a solid. Fat Quarter Shop has several free patterns using jelly rolls called Jelly Roll Jam quilts, or you could do Jenny's jelly roll 1, 2, or 3 patterns.

    They call me the jelly roll queen since I've used so many patterns to make jelly roll quilts. I've done a lot with them!

    I agree with the summer in the park suggestion. Our guild did that as a group project and many people used batiks. They were beautiful!

    I am a big fan of batiks and in my honest opinion, the JRR is not the best way to focus on the beauty of the batiks. Use a pattern that contrasts the rich batiks against light/white solids. Here are two examples

    I did the three dudes in the plum bali pop. I put it away because i thought it was too busy. So here is what it might look like.

    I know people liked it, I guess I needed a break from it.

    Lorie, love the batiks in the "Three Dudes. And Jean made an excellent point, those particular rolls would go very well together! Preeti, great ideas! I love jelly rolls, so diverse for any design! Stacked Coin, Zipper came to mind almost immediately, and there are some possibilities from the new tut put up today as well! I think I have the most fun, when I unroll them to see all the strips!!! Yeah, I'm a messy Christmas unwrapper as well, Tee Hee!

    Add some solids that work well with them all to soften the busyness of their prints and highlight their prints at the same time.

    Thank you all for the great suggestions!!!
    I really like the summer in the park. What colour would you suggest for the yardage? Grey, white, black????
    I know for a fact that I won't be able to get jelly rolls locally so I will have to cut them myself

    Just an example of how batiks can also "POP" with Black, here is one I did with Bali Darks in the Friendship Braid pattern.
