Lisa's Forward Progress: January End

My January project was to make forward progress on the orange and yellow jelly roll. The next step was to figure out a plan for using the strips.

I found a pattern I want to use, Summer at the Beach (the bottom picture), and as a bonus it was a free pattern.

I also found and purchased the background fabric that will be used in the quilt - it is the bottle cap fabric that is shown with the strips on the top picture. This will make for a much less subtle contrast, but I think will make for a very cozy quilt. A huge thank you to Mary for helping me find the fabric!
