stashbust jelly roll race

so on the great quest of quarantine stash busting, i decided to see if i could task myself to come up with a 42 strip set equivalent to a jelly roll and complete a timed jelly roll race.  with our guild's 4 week long bingo, we've had quite a variety of different tasks to do, and this week we had a square to watch a jelly roll rug or race tutorial.  having done a jelly roll race in the past, i watched 3 of missouri star quilt company's jelly roll race videos on youtube and then decided to make it happen.
i went through my stash, generated a somewhat cohesive color palette of fabrics i already had (lots of stars... you can tell it's my fabric!) and got to chopping.  42 strips later, we had our faux jelly roll ready to go and i decided to film the entire thing.
first, here is the pull of fabrics.  also as proof that YES there are 42.  as i was zooming along sewing, it seemed like there wasn't 42 at some point... but once i got past a certain point with fabrics... i absolutely realized there most definitely was.
the last time i did a jelly roll race, it was just over an hour.  and that was even with all my mistakes using batiks and having to seam rip things because it got mixed around.  so this time, i also asked the internet what they would think it would take me.  i got responses from 55 minutes to upwards of 5 hours.  boy i cannot imagine sewing for 5 hours straight.
now the fun part.  since i recorded it all, you get to watch it!
don't worry, i sped up the sewing part like crazy
here it is!
in the end, as mentioned in the video, it took 1 hour and 10 minutes to sew.
since i had shut my door to reduce noise and pulled the blinds to eliminate weird outside light, i basically killed all air flow in to my room, which made it MUCH hotter in there.  ack. 
also... WHY DIDN'T I PUT MY HAIR UP?!?!
i feel like time was lost every moment i had to swish my bangs out of my face.
next time... all these details will be fixed.
this jelly roll race quilt will be donated once quilted, but in the meantime, here's a peek at what it looked like (beyond what you see in my lovely video skills)
do you feel challenged yet and ready to do your own jelly roll race?
I DARE YOU!
should i do another video post?
what kind of things should i record? more sewing? puzzle making? lego building? underwater basket weaving?  just kidding... the pool is closed, so i can't do that one.
