Quick & Easy Jelly Roll Quilt Tutorial

After a clean up in my sewing space I found

 a project that I had shown you HERE....

This is a project that I saw on Chooky Blue's Blog earlier

in the year and I thought I would share it....

I am using Thimbleberries fabric.....

Step 1: Mitre the ends of one full Jelly Roll.....

Step 2: Randomly join all of the strips together

 like if you were making binding......

You will end up with a pile that looks something like this.....

Can you believe that there are only 5 more seams to

 sew and the quilt top will be complete.....

What! You don't believe me, just you wait and see....

Step 3: Press all the seams flat......

Step 4: Cut an 18 inch strip off one end only.....

This is important so the rows will join together at

 different intervals and give a scrappy finish...

Step 5: Grab either end and sew the strips right side

 together to form the first seam.....

At the end make a cut through the fold so it lays flat.....

This one will take the most time because it is the longest....

Step 6: Take both ends again and sew your second seam

 with the right sides together to form the next row

 and also cut through the fold at the end 4 rows wide.....

Are you getting the hang of it yet?

Step 7: Continue with the 3rd seam in the

same way until it is 8 rows wide....

Step 8: Repeat the process and sew the 4th and 5th

 seams until you have 16 and then 32 rows...

Step 9: Trim the sides of the quilt top so they are even....

Ta Dah!!!! Cool huh!!!!

This is mine flapping in the breeze on the clothes line...

All that is left to do now is square up the

edges and quilt and bind as desired....

Or you may like to add some extra borders as well...

I am not sure how I will finish mine off yet....

ENJOY!!!!!

Not bad for a couple of hours work....

Until next time, happy Stitching
