Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Checked this out, and really like it. Thanks for sharing.
so many quilts to make, so little time.
I really like this idea
I really like this strip quilt a lot! Thanks for telling us where to find it.

Thank you for this. when I looked at the quilt I thought "no way can I do that" then I looked at her directions and had a "well duh" moment! One of my resolutions for this year was to continue pushing myself to do something I had not done before...this is on my list now!!
Luvstoquilt301,
I've got to try this! So many options for placement. Exactly how many "different" colors/prints should be used? I've been wanting to make my own jelly roll but I'm just not sure ... I was thinking maybe 20 different colors/fabrics.
Thank you for sharing!
I did the jelly roll race at our guild meeting and had a great time with it. I cut all of the strips from my purple stash and sewed a 2.5" square of dark purple to the end of each strip before the race. The strips were sewn together randomly, but I avoided having 2 of the same attached. However, they land where they will eventually.
The first strip you cut, I think , 16" from the strip making it short. This staggers the rest of the strips.
I keep a jelly roll in my sewing tote to have something to make when I want to do mindless quilt making at a sew day. They make great gift quilts to have on hand for visiting kids.

I love my life!
That is going to be my next (MY) quilt - I have been saving up jelly rolls and 2-1/2" squares for the quilt. I have about eight rolls (big quilt) (planned it that way) and I am going to have one strip from each roll, not the same whole roll in order. I also thought it was 18" - not that 2" is going to make a difference, but if I am going to use 2-1/2" squares every so once in a while, is that going to screw it up? I have three quilts I have to make before I can start on my own jelly roll. The rest are samplers. Have a good day. Edie
Home is where the rags of your life are turned into quilts, lemons become lemonade and a few extra pounds are simply welcomed as "more of you to love."
I am so confused. I don't know if I found a rope or lost my horse."

I cut my own strips for a jelly roll race. Some of the pieces ended up in the same area. I just cut out a big flower and appliqued it in that spot. It turned out pretty good. I cant seem to get the picture to upload. sorry.
I've been thinking about doing one in shades of turquoise and aqua to use on our bed for this summer. it would have to be king size so I'm sure I will need to do some adapting. I did like the idea someone posted earlier about putting a square at the end of the strip.
