A friend gave me 2 Jelly rolls for a gift,

What can you make with then? Can 2 jelly rolls make a quilt for a queen bed quilt, is there enought fabric or should add more ? Thanks :-)

I used one JR and it measured 30 x 60 I don't remember how many times I sewed.......I should of kept track. However, when folded in half, it will make 2 baby quilts with boarders added............calla

There are several Jelly Roll patterns at Missouri Star. The tutorials are great. I made the Summer in the Park, it turned out great and was easy.

a jelly roll is normally 40 - 2 1/2" strips of fabric- so- sewn together- just as strips you would have 40"x80" if you sewed them both together the same way then sewed those together- you could have (about) 78"x 80" (figuring some trimming & seam allowance)
if you then added borders you could make it a queen-
if you do something with the strips besides just straight sewing them- it will make it less- since you loose 1/2" with every seam
there are TONS of patterns for jelly roll quilts- strip quilts

Look for a pattern called Two by Fours - with some extra fabric for borders this makes a nice twin size quilt out of one jelly roll.

Thank for the great information - have bookmarked it

If you look on Moda Bake Shop site, they have jelly roll projects/quilts with patterns.

HTH~

Here is a quilt I made with a jelly roll strips (and i added a neutral)

What a neat quilt!

Oh wow! yolanda your quilt is beautiful it looks like a basket weave, very pretty and all out of a JR Wow!

Ckcowl thank, you for the info on a JR and how much fabric is in one, Seeing this is my first JR I sure was in the dark on what to do with this gift.

Fraydknot12326, thanks for the site, will look into that one..

Thanks to all of the other replies they all helped a lot to understand a JR

After receiving this as a gift I thought ...hummmm what will I do with this, but I was very excited to receive it..
Again Thanks to all :-D

What about a log cabin on steroids? Those are super simple and a jelly roll would work I think.

Yikes I sent the picture 3 times... my computer froze and I just got it back working.

This was made with 2 Jelly rolls plus the cream yardage. The Quilt is Queen size!

Oh Wow! coventryuk....that is beautiful.... Can you tell me what the pattern is and maybe where I can find it...Thank you

Thanks for your kind comments! The pattern is 'Barbed Wire' from a book 'Twosey-Foursey Quilts' by Cathy Wierzbicki. In the book it is done in homespun fabrics autumn colours and looks totally different!! It looks complicated but went together very easily!

Both quilts are just beautiful.

This gal is fantastic!!! she specializes in the pre-cuts and is a hoot to meet... If you ever get a chance to meet her or get to her shop in Hamilton Mo, you will love her!!!!

I have this pattern too!!!! and have the JR and charm pak ready to go!!! Love it ... you did a great job!!! :thumbup:

Oh I love this!!!!!!

Those are SO FUN ... what a wonderful gift! Here's a sweatshirt jacket I did for my Mom using a jelly roll.

If you take one jellyroll and do the pattern that calls for sewing all the strips together into one long string, then sewing the strings together, over and over until you get a large piece, you can get a quilt top that is 3200 square inches. So, two jelly rolls will get you an area of about 80" x 80" using that pattern.

I REALLY love this....thanks for sharing!

Yolanda that is a beautiful quilt. I bought three JR's and used one for a quilt. After opening the other two did not like what was in it. I have been using the strips for bindings on other quilts.

yoland,
luv,luv,luv your quilt. Very yummy.

I really like Missouri Star!

That gives me a good idea!

Love this pattern! Thanks

DS and & bought Jelly Rolls at Tuesday Morning and we were so excited to try a "Quick Trip" quilt by Eleanor Burns, we whipped these out in about 8 hours...and they were so much fun to make. Had enough for a nice lap quilt and table topper (with lots leftover) from 2 jelly rolls. The green & pink one used only 1 jelly roll. Lily's Quick Trip was pieced on my new FW, "Darling Lily".

If you want a similar pattern of ConventryUK's quilt here is a site that is close

Thanks.

I used 2 jelly rolls for my queen top, but also needed fabric for my background color and also the borders. It depends on what pattern or blocks you choose?

Good Luck

Suzy

I'm interested too!

Thanks to CoventryUK & Bobbie1 and others for the info you've posted.

Very good info from everyone.

I was just going to suggest that one, but you beat me to it. Here's mine:

The quilts posted in this thread are just beautiful!

I just brought the following books....
Layer Cake, Jelly Roll and Charms Quilts & Two from One Jelly Roill Quilts. Both are by Pam & Nicky Lintott.
Great books!

I made a baby quilt with a jelly roll. I used them like a "rainbow" bargello quilt.

Coventryuk, I did one similar to that called Milky Way from Gudrun Erla's book called Strip On. I hated trying to match those star points! But the quilt came out ok. Love yours and the colors!

What a brilliant way to hang up a quilt to photograph!! Gorgeous quilt too! :)
