Most people think of the tasty treat when they hear “jelly roll”. When speaking
of fabric, a jelly roll is a set of 2 ½"; x 40"; strips of fabric rolled in a spiral. There
may be 10, 20 or 40 strips in a roll, and there may be duplicates or all different
fabrics included.
The Jelly Roll Race is a fast way to create a 50" x 66" (approximate size) quilt
top in a short amount of time. All the stitching is straight sewing, so this is a great
class for beginners! A great way to use up those long scraps!
There are many examples online of finished tops and different ways of
arranging the jelly roll strips; you may want to look at some before class.
For this class you will need:
1 Jelly Roll 40 strips 2 ½" x 40" (I like to use my fabric stash and cut one strip
each from 40 fabrics) You may want to cut off any selvedges before class.
A sewing machine (OR use one from Lancaster Creative Reuse)
Basic sewing supplies-thread, scissors, tape measure
Note: At the end of this class, the top only will be completed. Directions on
possible methods to complete will be discussed.
