Good day and welcome to my blog.
A jelly roll/rollup of fabric (Sun Valley) surfaced in my sewing room. I think I purchased it 2 years ago.
Beautiful shades of brown and gold, with gold highlights, perhaps more highlights than I normally like. The fabric strips definitely look better released from the packaging, rather then rolled up. And I have a pattern from Villa Rosa called Voyager, that would use the 40 strips in a full roll:
But a center fabric is needed for each block. I ordered a yellow-gold fabric from this fabric line, and I am waiting for it to arrive. However, I have started sewing strips of fabric together. I sorted the strips into dark-dark, dark-medium, medium-light, and light-light groupings. There needs to be some contrast between the two strips, but not much. I paired the dark-dark strips with the light-medium strips, and the medium-dark strips with the light-light strips.
And cut them to the length specified.
And now I wait. If the fabric doesn't come today, I will set this aside and start on another project, so that I have something to blog about next week.

I think I have that same pattern card. I ordered a jelly roll from Temu.....wondering what it will be like.
What a great plan and such rich looking jelly roll of fabrics! I hope your fabric arrives today!
I do love Villa Rosa Designs patterns! This one looks like a perfect use for your jelly roll! I wonder if your fabric arrived...
Waiting is always the hardest, Viridian! This is a great pattern. I hope your fabric arrives soon. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
What a pretty jelly roll and it seems just right for your pattern! Thank you for your idea about combining the strips. I appreciate that.
Oh yes, that jelly roll will look great as a Voyager quilt! I've made one in batiks. (It's time to quit saving my batiks and make some quilts from then again.)
