Queen size patterns?
 

I want to make a queen sized quilt for DD and hubby. I found beautiful jelly roll strips with their favorite colors and am trying to find a pattern to use them in. I know it was silly to find the fabric first, but I did...LOL!

Are you planning on using the strips for accent, or the whole quilt? Jelly rolls vary by the number of strips, but if you are planning on using them for the whole quilt, you will probably need 100+. If you let us know which way you are thinking, we can probably direct you better..

Bought 2 full jelly rolls. I'd like to make the whole quilt with them and a background fabric.

The patterns in Kim Brackett’s books can be made with jelly rolls. Take a look at them on Amazon. They might also still be available at Connecting Threads where you’re able to see all the designs. For queen size you might need to figure the extra blocks needed. Most of the ones I’ve made are for smaller sizes.

And of course there are the Missouri Star tutorials

I am in the same boat as you :) Here are some that I am looking at.... haven't made a decision yet and I am sort of still looking

I rarely have anything in mind when I buy fabric. I buy what calls to me! :)

Same with me, Susie. Usually I can find fabrics for what I want to make. I call it my magic closet.

There are so many designs to choose from even if what you choose is for a twin you can easily adapt it to accommodate the queen size you need. Good luck can't wait to see what you come up with!

I think Jenny from Missouri Quilt Co. has a tutorial on You Tube. Check the 2-1/2" jelly rolls. She uses a lot of them in her tutorials.

You can filter the Missouri Star tutorials to only show the ones made with jelly rolls.

Two of my favorite patterns for strips are Bento Box and Strip Twist. Both are fairly easy.

I’ve made several from Kim Brackett and now have Carolyn Forster jelly roll book too. Love their designs.

Thank you all for your wonderful support!!! Now, to decide :-)

Who doesn't buy the fabric first?

Go forth and find a pattern you love!

You could also type in Jelly Roll Quilts in Google then go to Images. You'll find gazillions there and the links will lead often you to the patterns.

Any pattern by Eleanor Burns usually has size options for “crib” or “wallhanging” to king” size of the pattern. Some are deceptively easy to do and look very difficult. She is the pioneer of “assembly line sewing”. I love her patterns for this reason. She is also wonderful at organizing her steps, and I have learned to do the same from using her patterns.

I would check on Moda's Bake Shop. You can select the precut size you are working with, then the type of project you want to make. www.modabakeshop.com

Jo Kramer has a lot of free patterns, although I don't know if there is an easy way to sort them. http://www.joscountryjunction.com

One of my favorites of Jo's is Chains of Faith. I made it in the same fabrics she used, which is unusual for me - but that is how much I liked it. It's not truly a full queen sized, but you could add borders to make it larger.

Me, too! One of my favorite quilts for jelly rolls is Summer in the Park, which is available in a MSQC video. It's not queen size, as I recall, but would be if you plan borders to make it the size you want. You may be able to find yardage in fabric from the jelly rolls. I have even found matching yardage on Etsy a couple of times when the fabric I wanted was discontinued. Hope you'll post a picture of your finished quilt.

I have one of these tops in my UFO pile. It took me awhile to get the border fabric by mail, and by the time it arrived I'd started something else, so I lost momentum, but it still calls to me. Eventually....

Here is a link to the “Chains of Faith” quilt.
