jelly roll patterns
 

My mil gave me a jelly roll for christmas and I am trying to decide what to do with it. I am not wanting to do a strip quilt. I want something more interesting than that. and other than binding and backing and maybe boarder should one jelly do it for the quilt top? I am looking at a lap or baby size top. any suggestions as to what to do. (my SIL also sent me a pattern for i think its a warm wishes type pattern. it squares and strips in different sizes.)

French Braid would be perfect ... though I'm not sure on how much you need for a full size quilt.


Log Cabin?
Rail Fence style?

My DS gave me the book "Scrap-Basket Surprises - 18 Quilts from 2 1/2" Strips" by Kim Brackett, published by The Patchwork Place. Most of the quilts in it look complicated, but when you start reading the instructions they are really simple. Of course, DS and DDIL had already picked out the quilt they wanted. She said "There's no hurry, you've got 364 days to do it." :) You might want to look at it.

Check out Kimberly Einmo. She has written three or four books on Jelly Roll quilts and they are wonderful! I know they sell them on amazon or you can go to her website. Her quilts are always easy and fun. Enjoy!

If you go to Missouri Start Quilt Co.. on YouTube.. you will see many quick and easy quilts using jelly rolls..plus the visual is a huge plus..

Chek out the moda bakeshop for free patterns too. Just google it, then look for jelly roll patterns. All are free. One that comes to mind is called sweet menagerie

There is a New Year's Day mystery quilt on PlanetPatchwork.com that you can use a jelly roll for.

I also have this book, lovely quilts to make from strips. Try it.

i really like your quilt. so fresh looking.

This is what I have done so far. Going to make a couple more blocks of them I think. Or take what I have and do a log cabin type thing around it. Which way do you guys like best?

second group....

hobbykat1955 where did you get the pattern for your basket weave? It is really nice.

cozy quilts also has great patterns

Log cabin is great use for jelly rolls.

I love love love jelly rolls......I made my friends a log cabin quilt using nothing but jelly rolls, except the borders. It really was beautiful, if I do say so myself

The Three Dudes Quilting Pattern is fun and fast:

I actually saw that vid and tried it.

Very cute!!

Oh, warm wishes is lovely...I just made my first one and gifted it to my aunt and uncle. It turned out beautiful and they love it. Give it a try....

I'm working on a Bento Box. It uses a jelly roll, and I really like how it looks. To make it even better, I got the pattern for free!!

I made three quilts from a pattern I found on Eleanor Burns' videos on her website. They were small medium ans large and all of the bits were used. I added borders and some background to some

I also like the second group, I think the first is too busy. Just my opinion.

Are there instructions for making this beautiful quilt?

The pattern I am doing is called hidden wells. It is free and on the web. Did one in burgandy and gold/ yellowish brown batiks and it was wicked how it came out.

Missouri Star Quilt videos - they have many things made out of jelly rolls. This Christmas I made a table runner from a video she had last year but, there are many videos they have using jelly rolls. They all look so easy. You can actually see her doing the whole thing.

Is there a free pattern for this one? I found several by googling, but not this one.
Thanks,
