The quilts are very fun to do, and if you like surprise endings---you will enjoy doing these as you never quite know what they will look like until the final finish!
These two were made from batik jelly rolls I found on sale. I'm sorry I didn't keep the wrapper names.
"Cosmos" is very soft pretty pastel with lots of pinks, lavenders and turquoise blues. "Sakura" is a beautiful combination of dark indigo blues, teals and purples.
I think it's important in the overall appearance of these horizontal strip quilts to finish them off with a inner sashing border, and a large outer border to frame and enhance the "jelly "centers. I can also see the opportunity to embellish them with appliqué and machine embroidery motifs. I plan to do more in different color combinations.

Wonderful serendipity designs! And simply *fantastic* quilting motifs!
I envy you your Circle Lord but am content to admire from afar. :-)
Nicely, nicely done!
They all look great! Nice job!
I like your Jelly roll races quilts. I made one a few months ago but still need to quilt it. I enjoyed the 'not having to think while sewing mode' and just zip along. I agree about the inner and outer border.
Both quilts are wonderful. I like both quilting designs, but I think I like the Circle Lord the best. I have one more border to sew onto my second jelly roll race quilt. I had so much fun making both of my quilts, too.
Your quilting is absolutely fabulous!
