I love it!! I have got to try this! Thank you for sharing!!!

That is sooo pretty!

Beautiful rug. I’ve always read it is not easy to keep them flat when making one. Are there any tips you could give on this? I would love to make one. You did such a nice job.

Such a great job, good work

Nicely done!

Very cool. Where will you use it? When I was a little girl, my family (New Englanders) had these rugs in their homes. I'm waxing nostalgic now from your work.

I love your color combination! Puts a modern twist on an heirloom rug.

Good job!!

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!

I think I will try one later this year, but make it smaller for the RV

Very nice and useful rug.

Your rug is very nice.

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

wow....that is a beauty.

Sandy, thank you for the information and your rug is beautiful. A jelly roll rug is on my list of things to try...

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.

It’s beautiful! I can’t wait to try one.

Sandygirl, Can you give us the web address for the You Tube. I typed in Jordan Quilts Jelly Roll, and it gave me quite a few you tube videos. Thanks.

Oh that's pretty!!!

thank you! I have not decided where to use it. Likely my sewing room or the adjacent guest room IF I can find the floor in there! LOL!!

thanks for sharing your memories!

Beautiful rug! I love your colors!

Looks great, I have lots of left over binding in a box, I must try it

stacking some books should work.

ok, here is the link to the You Tube video.

Thank you! This is a fabric line called Melbourne from Contempo (a Benartex division) It came out 3 years ago. I fell in love with this Australian fabric group and had to buy the strips. I love the rug and now wish I had purchased more of the yardage.

Here ya go!

Thanks so much for the link - after watching it I feel confident that I can make one too and I'm already thinking about who is going to get one for a christmas gift.

Nice jelly roll rug!

I noticed you have hardwood floors. They do make a paint on skid-grip for the back so it will not cause an accident. I usually just paint a 3-4” border on them so they could still be laundered. I think I got mine at
Hobby Lobby....

That is a beautiful rug! It's on my list.

Sandygirl, Is it heavy? I just finished one that is rectangular and it's really heavy. But maybe that's a good thing.
I need to finish one side of the binding and then it will be completely done. Only the 2 short sides had to be bound.
I also found that it was much easier than I anticipated.
I love how yours turned out!

Very nice! I like the colors!

Nice jelly roll rug.

Actually, my kitchen floor is sheet vinyl! People think it is hardwood. Love my floor...easy to clean and wipe up spills. ; D

thanks for the skid-grip info ...never knew that was available. Might explore that for the bathroom rug that I might make.

Sandy

It is heavy...and I am good with it.

Thanks for the link. I want to make one!

I watched the video a few days ago but now I can't find the Jordan fabrics video.

I agree. The minute I started typing I realized that heavy is good!! (for a rug, not me lol)

V cute. I now want to make one for my bedroom
