Having a terrible time with jelly rolls
For some reason, perhaps the severe fall causing brain damage I had, has frozen my mind to figure out a pattern that I've made several times before. It is featured in the book Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam and Nicky Lintott on page 56.
You simply take jelly rolls and sew four of them together then take 2 strip units and lay them right sides together alternating the colors. Cut them into squares then diagonal. That I understand but, when I lay them out they are not working, small strips don't meet, and so on. What in the world am I doing wrong? The more I try to make them work, the worse it gets.
Maybe I'm just not to quilt anymore because of the injury but that is my joy and I've been unable to do it for 5 1/2 half months and would really like to get back to it.
