By the time I read yesterday's comments -
I had already changed my mind - ;))
I didn't think the Quarter Log Cabin pattern was right for these strips -
It looked like the GREEN was TOO strong and would detract from the rest of them -
So I "un-sewed" the sets and took the GREEN strips out -
And put them back with the rest of my jelly rolls - for later - ;))
I decided to make another Interweave Quilt - the short version - instead -
Using the two jelly rolls that I originally chose - thinking it might look a lot better -
And I'll save the green for a GREEN Quarter Log Cabin or something - LOL - ;))
So - I "re-paired" the strips -
And decided to cut and sew them two sets at a time -
I'm not sure if this one was printed off-grain or simply cut crookedly -
It's even more obvious from the wrong side of the fabric strip - UGH!! -
And it is REALLY annoying considering how much these dang strips cost -
You'd think they could BE straight - even if they were on sale -
Sorry - BOB said that - LOL - ;))
Anyway - today I got eight (8) rows sewn together -
And they're in no particular order -
But I think it's already looking better without the GREEN - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Well, it is less green now. It will be interesting to watch it go together. I was the recipient of a couple of jelly rolls that were very strangely cut. Good thing I can use scraps by measuring and marking.
I do think this version looks better. Those green strips might have been "a bit much."
I have had strips that were cut badly also. That is why I mostly buy yardage now...but if I win strips, I will take them and use them!
It's looking very nice.
Wow, taking out the green really did make a big difference. These fabrics look nice together. It will be another nice donation.
Much better, in my humble opinion. I like green just fine, but sometimes... As for the precuts...well...I'm with Gene!
