jelly roll question
 

I found this jelly roll which has the colors that I need for my DIL. Do you think it has too much red. I have no idea what pattern to use with this jelly roll. I am not a advance quilter.

An idea: put a dark red square in the center,add alight color strip on each side to produce a block. Make one with opposite colors,sew together alternately.

These look like "charm squares" (not a jelly roll). You may wish to search easy charm square patterns online. Charm squares are 5" squares. Jelly rolls are strips that are 2 1/2" wide x WOF (width of fabric). I like the red and you can find nice patterns for 2 colors, which is basically what you have.

The way you have them lauded out it looks like charm squares. Maybe a disappearing four patch. Love the fabrics

Gorgeous fabric.

It is a jelly roll. I wish it was fat quarters. Is it too much red?

Look on Moda's site or MSQ. They have lots of patterns for precuts.

In the picture some pieces look bigger than others.What size are they?

I didn't buy the fabric yet. It is a jelly roll. It is on CRAFTY. It might have been sold in a charm pack in the past. This was the picture that was shown.

What I posted came off www.missouristarquilt.com

It is gorgeous fabric and no I don't think it's too much red. But I love red.

Since it is a jelly roll, how about a "jelly roll race" pattern? It's simple and fun and will work with the colors. I don't think it's too much red. I like it.

I don't think there is too much red. But if it bothers you, leave out all but one of each value of red and look at it again to see how you feel about it.

I think it looks great but I also like red. You could do the Jelly Roll Race or a Rail Fence using 2 lights + red and 2 reds + light.

Oh, oh, oh that's pretty! Not too much red if you like red, which I do! There are some really neat jelly roll patterns out there. Wasn't there one on here a while back in the pictures section called red hot flash or something like that?

If you don't like the red, then find the fabric sold elsewhere where you can choose what fabrics you want. I am not sure if we are suppose to post pictures from other websites. You should just copy and paste the web address for reference.

Take a look at Jo's Country Junction:http://www.joscountryjunction.com/
Click on the Free Patterns button just below the top banner and you will find ideas on how to use jelly rolls (plus some coordinating yardage) if you are making a full quilt.

I would try this one, seems easy with beautiful results! http://www.quilterbydesign.com/FreeQ...s/HotFlash.pdf

try looking at moda bake shop. On the right side, down just a bit, it says BAKERY. Under that click on Jelly Roll. It will search for patterns that use jelly rolls. I don't think its too much red. Maybe a diff background if the pattern calls for it. Blue, tan or brown, green (kinda Christmassy!), even turquoise or purple would be a great contrast to this collection. I am looking too! I have a blue and cream/tan jelly roll.

Let us know what you choose!

A picture of a Trip Around the World in that line is also available as a kit, to give you an idea. It's not a difficult quilt to do, and you've got a lot of the cutting already done by buying a jelly roll. http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/moda...quilt-kit/9686

One jelly roll, without adding to it, won't give you a terribly large quilt, so it depends partly on how big you are wanting to make it. From Jo's Country Junction, I made Chain of Faith (actually liked it so much I bought the same fabric she used in hers). If you do a search for that, you will be able to find the pattern, either on her site or on Moda bakeshop. It uses every smidge of 2 jelly rolls.

I LOVE the fabric line. Too much red? Heck no!

Not too much red, but I love the color red! I love the way you have them laid out to show them to us - very much like a chevron, so I think a chevron quilt would be gorgeous!

Great Find... love the Small Prints, Yes put a Red between The Tan and White Can't wait to see finished project..

No it is not to much red. If I were your Dil I would love to

I love the red in this jelly roll.....don't worry, with all the neutrals in the roll whatever you decide upon will be beautiful. Go for it!!

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the fabric was "Log Cabin". Lovely fabric.

I love it! If the gift recipient likes red, she will too!

Check out all of these patterns on moda bakeshop, I modified Sunset Ridge a bit and am using it to make a table runner with 8 matching placemats. It's really quick and fun! http://www.modabakeshop.com/category/jelly-roll

Those colors would also play nicely with this one, but I'm not sure how experienced you are. You could always try a couple steps with some scraps and see how it goes. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2015/04/...tml#more-29265

It would make a beautiful log cabin! It is not too much red if that is what she likes.

I don't think you have too much red. The different lights make the reds pop. You'll have a spectacular project when you are finished.

I'm not a big "red" fan, so it is a little overwhelming. But my first thought was find some black fabric that had just a touch of red. If you do a jelly roll race, place a square or rectangle of the black fabric between each of the strips.

Never too much red!!!!! Just use color catchers, just in case!!

I don't think there is too much red, but you always need another color to tone it down. There is a lot of creamy colors in there also, so why not add a touch of black. Should be a striking quilt.

A rail fence would look great with these colors. I am doing one with black, white and red at present.
Look on Missouri Star Quilt Tutorials for more ideas.

The jelly roll is beautiful. But, you might check out Hancock's of Paducah. (a company in Ky.) They have sales on pre-cuts all the time, you might be able to find something you like more for less money. I do a jelly roll pattern called Cake Walk.This one is from Piece of the Heart. It only uses 20 jelly roll strips, so you can make 2 quilt with one jelly roll. You need 2 yards for the corner piece, plus, 1/2 yard for the binding. I do not do the jelly roll border. This way you can make what I call "companion quilts". They make great wedding gift, I give both to the couple,,,they are coordinated because they came from the same jellyroll. I make the corner triangles different colors too.

I love the red so I don't think it is too much red. I think it would look great in a log cabin block.

i think the fabric is gorgeous and no there is not too much red. I really like the D4P and it would look good with those.. but that pattern won't work so well with jelly rolls. I have some jelly rolls and I am thinking about trying this pattern.[ATTACH=CONFIG]525424[/ATTACH]

To me you can never have too much red! Go for it! Especially if DIL likes red! Have fun!
