In our country these kind of quilts called "lasagna" (like the italian pasta). :D
This is my version, with two "rollimopsi" (a jelly-roll with only 21 stripes (7 fabrics) ), one in yellows, one in oranges. The green fabric was an old tablerunner (printed cotton). |
What would happen if the first piece cut off was added elsewhere?
I was told to stitch the strips together on the diagonal - your instructions say straight across. Confused ... that's me. OH, I see the person over my post did it diagonally! |
What a great idea!
My Mom passed away in November of last year and I got some of her clothes and I wanted to make quilts for my grandchildren. I can do this with the skirts and dresses and it would be really be easy to cut those in the same size. It would also enable me to do a lot in the future also.
thanks for the idea. |
Wow what a fun idea, I am going to have to try to make one too!
@Kaysue4, I think you are on to something there, what a great way to remember your mom. A quilt is something that your grandchildren will cherish forever! 3Frog |
Thanks for the ideas. I didn't have strips but I did have scads of large rectangles obtained at a yard sale. All different lengths but about the same widths. I just layer a bunch in several stacks then pared them to the same width. Sewed them end to end & used your method after that. Had a lap quilt top finished even with 3 young grandsons running around & outing to beach, park, etc.
Great method |
Can't believe how easy this is...thanks so much for sharing this! I've had a jelly-roll sitting around for over a year and have been waiting to figure out what to do with it...now I know! :o

I have seen this idea before, thanks for the tut.

I'm glad I kept this update to view at this much later time! I have a couple of odd-size jelly rolls - one with 35 strips and the other with 26. Both width are 2 1/2 inches, but I'm going to have fun!
Thank you, ladies! |
I have some left over strips from 3 Jelly Rolls...I think I am going to do this using all three! Scrappy, scrappy, scrappy!
