OR you could sew to the 4 rows, cut them apart, press your seams to one side. Sew 1st piece down to the batting/ backing on one end, then carefully spread your fabric piece over the batting and backing, right side up. Fold back two of the four rows, sew through the seam allowance through the batting and backing, fold the other two rows down and sew them down through the seam allwance. Then take the next piece, lay it over the seam allowance of the previous strip set, right sides together, and sew through the seam allowances and through the batting and backing. Continue for all pieces. By doing this, you are quilting every 4" instead of every 8". Make sense?
You get the look of a jelly roll race quilt but you can control the placement of the colors of the jelly roll a little better. It's such an intriguing idea, I'll have to try this myself to see if it works!
