...other than eat it. And, actually I'm not talking about that kind of jelly roll, though just the thought is making me hungry. I mean the kind that Moda fabrics creates by packaging 2 1/2" x 44" lengths of entire fabric collections into a single
spiraled fabric confection. I wanted to come up with a project that utilizes a jelly roll and doesn't require a lot of extra trimming.
I cogitated about this for a while and then ended up adapting my
Strips and Bricks pattern to this purpose.
The original pattern has the pieces measuring a bit wider, but I used the 2 1/2" widths with the same lengths as the original to create my strips and bricks. I also adapted the color scheme so that it was more like
this version rather than the
original.
Like both previous versions I free motion quilted the top in straight lines about 1/4" apart and bound the edges so that the binding matched the outer edge of the quilt.
There you have it, a project that utilizes the tasty jelly roll. Unlike the edible version, certainly true when I'm eating one, this incarnation includes are a few leftover jelly roll bits.

Fantastic! I love the blues and oranges together.
Free motioned straight lines, hey? I've yet to try any free motion so I am intrigued by this idea.
Does it feel weird to see your hand-printed and hand-dyed designs now in a commercial fabric? They look great, but I'm not sure if I like them as well as the originals. It's a lot easier for you, though, which I'm sure you appreciate a lot! And easier for people to buy lots of...
Really nice. I like how this line of fabrics isn't quite so matchy matchy. It just makes the quilt more interesting.
These fabrics are gorgeous!
Aw thats So Not Fair :-(
How am I supposed to wait 'til Somewhen 2012 (am across the pond in the uk) for Stitch in Colour?!
When-I-wanna-buy-some Now! Lol.
Fabulous, fabulous collection, just FabUloSo ;-)
I love the way these fabrics work together, I've not used just fabrics from one range in a quilt before, might have to!
Fun! I love the mix of the strips! BTW I just made your modern baby quilt from your other book, sweet!!
Your quilt is amazing and the fabrics are impressive, really like them. What fun!
best, nadia
Gorgeous!! I absolutely adore the colors - thanks for inspiring me to not be so afraid of bold colors!
fantastic color combinations i like it
I was wondering if this is just 1 jelly roll? I've never used one. Your quilt and colors are very nice.
I love this - thanks so much for the inspiration..
Very cool! Love your new fabric -- can't wait until it's out!
