Patterns you want to make
At first I was worried. The first couple patterns, in my opinion for my tastes, were not what I hoped to find. Then it got interesting. I especially like the friendship ring.
These are good, interesting designs. Not boring. From traditional to unique. Many would work with different color schemes.
The instructions are well done, easy to understand. If you are new to rotary cutting the diagrams are very helpful.
I am glad I got this book and plan to make several of the quilts.

Which one should I make first?
I very much enjoyed this book. So much so that I
purchased the paperback version. I originally
wanted to make the quilt on the cover as it
is a simple version of the quilt I’d seen when I
first started quilting decades ago. After looking
at the other quilts in this book, I’ve chosen and
shopped my stash to make four quilts.
Now, which one shall I make first?

Excellent and easy to follow! I chose this book because it looked like the most modern book of jelly roll patterns my library had as a ebook. I used one of the patterns from this book to make my first quilt and my friends and family were very impressed! I didn't make the whole thing in a weekend, but it took me about a week working on it for 2ish hour a night.

Easy to follow and communicates really great base concepts of strip unit work, tips and tricks for piecing, dealing with bowing, etc. I'm making my first jellyroll quilt from one of the patterns and it's coming together so well after reading all the authors' recommendations!

Best procedures
Well wrote with clear instructions. Details are clear with extended views on enlarging patterns and other various knowledge of quilting.

Great projects!
Have several jelly rolls in my fabric collection to complete some of these projects. Scrappy quilts in various colorways are options as well.
