It's been so hot here over the last couple of weeks the only thing I've had the energy to do is sew....... everything else is just too much bother!
This Jelly-roll race quilt has now been sent off for quilting .... along with the quilt I made for Miss 13 way back in May last year. I can't believe it took me all that time just to put a plain white border on and join the backing! How slack am I, seriously??

I used the instructions from 'Crafty Garden Mom' here (only I joined my strips on the bias) and armed with a Jelly roll of 'Pure' by Sweetwater I had the top together in a couple of hours.
This pattern was a perfect choice as the jelly roll was given to me as a gift by someone special - I loved the fabrics and didn't want to cut them up into tiny pieces where the writing and patterns would be lost.
Anyway.... I love how this top has turned out and will definitely make another one at some stage.

Hi. I´ve also done one of this. Found the idea here http://www.heirloomcreations.net/sewing-tips/the-jelly-roll-1600/
ReplyDeleteThe difference between them is the strip union. Personally I prefere the way you did, diagonal
I agree Tracy, too pretty to cut up. Love these quick and easy quilts :)

Would you mind emailing me back and explaining how you join the jelly roll strips on the bias?
