I tried something different

I made a rug from a 20 strip jelly roll for my bathroom. The room is very small and I couldn't find a rug in the size I wanted so I made it. The pattern is called Jelly-Roll Rug by R. J. Designs. I used lots of scrap batting in it by cutting the strips and sewing them together. It was a challenge but I love it.

Very pretty. You did a great job.

That is really pretty. I recently discovered this type of rug. Yours looks great.

QuiltnNan 12-30-2018 08:13 AM

nicely done

Looks sharp and custom made! I just watched a Youtube of the process. I need new rugs in the kitchen and think this would work great...thanks for the inspiration.

It's perfect for this size room, looks great!

A1penny 12-30-2018 09:10 AM

Great job, I'll have to watch youtube to see how that is done. So nice to actually use what you make!

oksewglad 12-30-2018 09:28 AM

A1Penny search for "Official Jelly Roll Rug Tutorial"...she does a good job of putting it together.

Super. BrendaK

Awesome rug, really brightens the bathroom. How do you keep it from slipping on the floor?

Plee1053 12-30-2018 10:33 PM

Love it very much!

I really like your rug for your bathroom. It is just the right size and cheerful. I want to make one (or more) but I am afraid of throw rugs on the floor for tripping. We are in our 80's and fear falling. But, I really like them.

Trapunta 12-31-2018 04:37 AM

Looks great. You did a wonderful job.

ka9sdn 12-31-2018 05:33 AM

Yours turned out great. Did you have any trouble with it starting to "bowl". I have heard that many have that problem.

Bobbielinks 12-31-2018 05:37 AM

That is gorgeous! Love your bright colors.

I pressed the curve flat and then pressed the tube around the curve and pinned it before I sewed it. I did this on every curve on both ends. It is laying flat now but time will tell after the first time it is washed. The trick is to not pull the tube tight around the curve....ease it in and press it in place.

rosiewell 12-31-2018 08:18 AM

How did you manage to make it so flat? love the bright colors and the shape, great job

Mariposa 12-31-2018 08:19 AM

So colorful! Nicely done!

northern lass 12-31-2018 09:17 AM

Your mat is lovely and the colours go really well.

Claire123 12-31-2018 12:28 PM

I love it. I have been meaning to make one also.

Painiacs 12-31-2018 03:16 PM

Great job!! I've thought about trying but hear so many stories about bowing.

LJMouse12848 01-01-2019 07:30 AM

Love the colors and it turned out very nice.

jhoward 01-01-2019 08:13 AM

Adds color to the room.

sunrise450 01-01-2019 09:59 AM

Beautiful. I think I would like to make one.

just janet 01-01-2019 10:06 AM

OMG, I love it too!

dharen7 01-01-2019 12:41 PM

Beautiful colors. Love it. grma33 I have been trying to do a toothbrush rug, from watching videos and encouragement from the quilting board. Its lopsided, probably will take me a while to finish. I have a terrible habit of starting and not finishing. I have my jelly roll sewed together to do the jelly roll rug, then started something else. Waiting for SIL to come out and help.

Beachbaby12 01-01-2019 12:48 PM

So pretty and colorful :)

ArtsyOne 01-02-2019 09:26 AM

Perfect for the space and I love the colors. Also impressed that it is lovely and flat. (Mine got huge waves in it and I gave up_

jlt37869 01-06-2019 12:12 PM

Awesome rug!
