  1. What can I do with a jelly roll?

  2. What is a jelly roll? • 2 ½” strips, usually 40 per pkg., showcasing a fabric collection (2.75 yards) • First marketed by Moda in _____. Guess what year!!! • “Jelly Roll” & “Layer Cake” are TMs of United Notions/Moda • Other names: Bali Pops, Tonga Treats, Rollie Pollie, etc.

  3. Beware: All fabric rolls are not the same • Number of strips can vary • Not necessarily 1 strip of 40 fabrics • WOF varies according to manufacturer & even within same fabric line • Cutting accuracy varies • Pinked edges are tricky

  4. Why do we buy jelly rolls? • It was something new and different • You LOVE the fabrics • You get it ALL--one of everything • Cutting convenience • “It was a good sale” • “Easy quilt” • I’d like to try a jelly roll RACE

  5. Make your own jelly roll

  6. Where can I get quilt patterns? • Books, magazines • Moda Bake Shop (free) • MSQC videos, Pinterest • Google “jelly roll quilt” • EVERYWHERE!!!

  7. More good books! • Pam & Nicky Lintott’s first book published in 2008 • Also: “Jelly Roll Quilts in a Weekend” in 2017 • Only 1 jelly roll needed • Own quilt shop in UK • Authors of 12 books • “Quick Quilts with Rulers”

  8. The Quilt Room in Surrey, England Free patterns FIRST jelly roll quilt

  9. Why don’t we use our jelly rolls? • I love the fabric too much to cut into it. • I’m saving it for _____. • I’ll never find that fabric again. • I forgot why I bought it…. I’ll remember….

  10. Sometimes you see the jelly roll & sometimes you don’t

  11. Rulers can help / Join a Strip Club

  12. Ideas, ideas, ideas!

  13. No excuses — use that jelly roll!

  14. Things I have learned • Once you unroll the jelly roll, you can’t make it go back. • Unroll/open a jelly roll outside. Shake it! • Watch your ¼” seam— a jelly roll project is deceptively easy. Seam guides are helpful.

  15. More things I have learned • Check strip width • Don’t save it too long. Use it while you love it! • Buy fabric to go with the jelly roll. Think of borders and binding.
