Thanks all!

Tips...sew on a flat, flush with the machine surface . I used a stiletto to ease the outer strip as I sewed around the curves on each end. By the time I had sewn about 6-7 complete rounds it got easier. Steam ironing heps.

there is a great video that offers tips to make this rug. On You Tube...Jordan Quilts Jelly Roll Rug..... About 20 minutes long. I watched it twice.

pretty easy project. Have fun!

Your rug is very nice.

I've seen videos of these and they do look fun. I may have to try one someday...

Anyone have ideas on how to obtain a flat surface when sewing in a class? Machines are on a table and was wondering if a box taped to the table would work.
