Getting rid of a jelly roll
 

Jelly rolls are my least favorite pre-cut and I quit buying them long ago...I’m committed to using as many precuts as I can this year. I typically buy a couple of yards of a main fabric when I buy precuts since, by the time I actually use it, the collection is no longer available and I like to have border options when I finally get around to it. This quilt was designed on EQ8 so no pattern but it’s easy enough to figure it out. I used an entire JR with the exception of a few pieces. I shared a picture of the balance..The sashing is one of my favorite sashing/cornerstone designs.. The JR is called Harvest Road. This completed at 76” sq. and will be gifted to my cousin just because....

I don't like pre-cuts any more, either and you've done a wonderful job of using up what is also my least favorite. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/thumbup.png And you cut it pretty darn close there, too! 😄

I love the borders and cornerstones - really nice element and I'll probably steal it from you someday. ;)

That's lovely.
I've never used pre-cuts. I always found them expensive.

Lovely quilt. The only precuts I like are fat quarters. I’m still not very good at coordinating fabrics, but I’m learning.

Neat design and awesome that you used up all but those tiny leftover bits! The inner border, sashing and cornerstones make this quilt sing. Good work.

Another stunner Teen! You do beautiful work! I too have an assortment of jelly rolls and they are my least favorite precut as well! I will have to borrow your pattern, thank you for the inspiration!

Woozers, Love it and who would think it was a jelly roll. I used to buy JRs pretty regularly, got lured in by MSQ bargains, then I realized I wasn't using them. I went on a JR binge too but did not use them as beautifully as you did. I most certainly will steal your pattern as a template to remove another JR from my stash.or just some 2.5 squares and stash. Oh, and I like the idea of buying some yardage from the JR line at the same time. Wisdom!

Same here...I also own a couple of JRs that have been in my stash for a few years without any idea what to do with them...hopefully I can find some coordinating fabric but if I ever buy a JR in the future, I’ll be sure to add extra yardage from the collection.

Teen , wonderful finish and great EQ design to use up your JR. I especially love your piano key border.

I love how your quilt turned out and will be on a mission to copy! That is a great tip to also buy yardage in that line to be able to complete a project that won’t go into the “too small” pile! I seem to be so easily distracted anymore, and love projects that don’t involve a lot of thinking! Thanks!!

Some of my JRs are aging quite nicely!

I think this quilt is a winner, even though you don't like jellyrolls. You did a fabulous job - well done!

Great quilt! I'm the exception about pre cuts. They are about all I buy these days. I buy yardage of solid colors to blend with the prints. I can grab a layer cake of prints and one of solid and I can make about any quilt pattern. I use jelly rolls for sashings, binding, fabric strata, and string piecing. The precuts are easier to store. I like fat quarters because they are easy to work with.

Wonderful quilt.

Great job teen! I love the soft colors this fabric line has. Very soothing.

i like your sashing cornerstones

I love this! I have some of the same fabric, but haven't decided what to do with it. I don't usually by precuts, bc there are usually a couple of "duds" in it. One of my favorite quilts, Chain of Faith, used every bit of 2 jrs, with no room for mistakes. I loved it so much that I did it in the same fabric. Now we have a king sized bed coming in a couple of weeks, and none of the quilts I have made will fit. :( https://www.joscountryjunction.com/m...hain-of-faith/

I have a Harvest Road JR, too. It’s a pretty fabric collection. It’s nice to see what you did with yours. I may borrow your design!

Your quilt is beautiful!! What a great pattern for a jelly roll. I have a stack of those I bought when I started and have no idea what to do with them lol. I may need to "borrow" this idea.

Your creativity is top notch, as is your workmanship! It's always a joy to see your work - thanks for sharing!

Well done, Teen. It must feel good to have an empty spot in your sewing room where the JR was. And the big bonus a pretty quilt to pass on, just because!

I too am not crazy about jelly rolls. I do favor 10" squares if I am going to use a precut. However they are not always very precise. I have only used a couple of jelly rolls and figured I could do better cutting exactly what I needed.. Your quilt is so pretty btw. I like it very much.

Teen, your quilt is beautiful.

I don't like precuts either but you certainly turned those precuts into a beautiful quilt.

A good way to use up your stash a a jelly roll. Lovely quilt too.

Your quilt is lovely! I really like the sashing and cornerstones.

Beautiful!! I love the 9-patch cornerstone. I've only done that on one quilt. It's a perfect compliment to the checkboard blocks. Looks like you'll have your jelly rolls gone in no time! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png

May I ask why you all don't like jelly rolls? I got one not too long ago - it has fabrics I like and it was $4.99 so couldn't pass up that price.

I like this quilt. It turned out great.

Another stunning quilt. Love seeing your work.

Great job using your JR! Love the sashing. I am not a fan of precuts, either.

Using up my JRs is on my to do list. Don't buy them anymore but got sucked in when I first started quilting 10 years ago. This is a real eye catcher pattern.
