Jelly Roll Quilt and Honey Bun Baby Quilt
Provided by The Quilt Rack
50" x 64"
1 jelly roll* and 1/2 yard binding
Open one jelly roll and sew the short ends together at a 45 degree angle. If you would like more seams in your quilt, cut the strips in half on the fold, mix them up and sew together. You will have a 1600 inch strip of fabric.
On only one end, cut off half of the first section. If you used full strips, this piece will be 20", if you cut the strips in half, the piece will be 10". This will offset the seams on the first sewing. Bring the two ends, right sides together, and sew along the long edge....this will be an 800 inch seam. There will be a big snarl of fabric on the floor as you sew, but when you get close to the fold in the long strip, you can cut it in half with scissors to complete the seam. Press the seam to one side.
Bring the ends together again and sew the long side. This will be a 400 inch seam. When you get close to the fold, cut with scissors to complete the seam. Press the seam to one side. Repeat this last step three more times. You should have 32 rows of strips when you are done.
Square up the long sides of the quilt. Quilt and bind.
