I have a batik roll (3.5 yds) of 2 1/2" strips. Any ideas what pattern I should use to make a quilt?

I have almost the exact same roll! I was planning on doing the super fast jelly roll quilt I found in the tutorial section, but I'm sure others will have more interesting ideas, lol!

I have the same one also. Great question and I can't wait to hear what everybody suggests.

Colors are stunning!!! How about a solid middle square and your strips around it???

That's what I am thinking! Got the jelly roll just waiting to be made!

I just bought the Jelly Roll Quilts book. Haven't picked my pattern yet. Have a batik jelly roll waiting for me to pick.

On the Missouri Quilt Company site under tutorials, look for Summer in the Park. I just made it with strips and I love how it turned out. www.missouriquiltco.com

The super fast jelly roll is what I was thinking. I have made 2 of them and I love how they come out. 1 of mine is in batik's that I am turning into a king size quilt for my queen size bed.
BTW I love the jelly roll you have those are some nice colors.
There have been some that have made bargello's using the jelly roll.
What ever you decide I hope it is fun to do.

that's what I'm doing with mine

i did something on that order with my old batiks. center sq with strips around that i bought.

I made the one I had into a bargello. It's one of my favorite quilts.

It won't matter. Whatever pattern you use will be wonderful with those fabrics. They're great!

They sure are nice fabrics!

I did this with the strips I got from the strip swap earlier this year...hope the picture comes out!

I saw someone on the board who did the jellyroll quilt but then cut them into blocks of say 5 strips. She then sashed the whole thing. It was so pretty. Wish I could remember it :(
But the jellyroll quilt is always a winner!!!!!!!!!! :D

There is great pattern call Boxy Stars! and I got it from this great board.

What about rail fence?

I did that with a neptune jelly roll. It was a QCA quilt along.

Here is my super fast jelly roll top. Is it the same as what nativetexan used for her quilt.

I was given a Jelly Monster rule for my birthday, so I plan to use it and fast assembling techniques to make all of the shapes one can cut from the jelly rolls using this device, and then randomly assemble the lot. Should be fun!

How about Garden Trellis? You make tubes and cut into triangles. Open them up and wala, you have a square. This is one of my favorite patterns. It is in the book "Jelly Roll Quilts" by Pam & Nicky Lintott.

i would say the same quilt ;)

That's another great Bonnie K Hunter pattern. Here's the link: http://www.quiltville.com/boxystars.shtml

I took a set of coffee mugs squares and used the jelly rolle to go around in a loose log cabin sort of dividing them by light and darks came out really well . sorry don't know how to post pics
haha

That is a really pretty quilt. Did you sew the strips together cut out squares, then cut in half diagonally twice and resew back together, or was there an easier way to do this?

I just finished a quilt top made from a suggestion on this site. Sew the strips together, end to end, then fold the long piece that results in half and stitch together. Fold it in half again and again until you have a top of 64 strips. The colours are entirely random and it looks fantastic. I've taken it to a LQ and can't wait to get it back. The top was done in 2 afternoons! I'm sorry I can't remember who posted the directions - it wasn't done as a tute.

there's a pattern out called House Calls..works great with Jelly Rolls and Would really look wonderful with that roll..have fun..blessings

I have 4 of these. Got them when WM closed them out so would be happy to get ideas. THANKS

I did 2 rail fences with one of my jelly rolls and they were cute.

I really like this idea.May try this. Thanks

I agree with this plan

I do longarm quilting and have gotten a lot of Rail Fence quilts made from jelly rolls.

or how about a brick pattern?

I did this quilt with a jelly roll.

Whatever you decide to do will be special.

Lovely bright colors! What about making a lasagna quilt with each strip separated with a small 1" strip of black, both at the ends of the strips and between them the long ways. The black would really set off the colors and make a beautiful quilt. Here is a picture of one I found on the internet:

I'm working on some from the book Quilts from the Heart by Karin Renaud.

How about this. It looks easy and quick

Found it on the Victorian Quilt Design site. I saved it for future use.

WOW! that's pretty!

I paired them up with white strips and started a double pinwheel quilt.

Very nice, I like it alot!
