Bali Pops

A few months ago, I bought a Bali Pops set, in the colourway of Sherbet. Bali Pops are pre-cut 40 x 2 1/2 inch strips of fabric in the same line.

Since coming back from holidays, I've been pondering what to make out of them. I have a book on Jelly Roll designs (same concept, but by a different fabric manufacturer - the 40 strips are sold in a roll - for Aussies we would use the term Jam Roll to understand the concept).


There's not a whole lot of contrast in this set, though there are two clear colour sets - pinks (with some purples) and blues (with some greens).







I checked out the ideas on the Hoffman's website but still nothing appealed. I glanced at my quilty calendar (new quilt blocks every day) and there was a quarter log cabin block that day - mmmm. That looks like an idea. The quilt is still going to be very soft with low contrast, but I like the look of my sample block, so here goes!
