Jelly Roll Race Quilt Along
My next Quilt Along Series is the Jelly Roll Race Quilt.
I’ve made about 20 of these quilts and they are so very easy to make … and addictive as well.
What is a Quilt Along? Step by step instructions in a video format on how to make a Jelly Roll Race Quilt Top. Once the quilt top is complete we’ll take it to a longarm quilter to finish. These Quilt Alongs are designed for beginning quilters!!
Ambleside by Moda Fabric
- One Jelly Roll (40 strips that measure 2-1/2 x 44)
- 4-1/2 Yards of Backing Fabric
- 1/2 Yard of Binding Fabric
Jelly Roll Race Quilt Along Video 1
- Unroll Jelly Roll and keep the strips in the order they arrived.
- Trim salvage on the end of each strip.
- Cut 18 inches off the very last strip.
Video #2
- Pick up the end of the first strip and the beginning of the 2nd strip, place them right sides together and sew a 1/4 seam down the right side.
- When you reach the end … lift foot on sewing machine and pull back just a tad, giving you room to sew the next one.
- Pick up the end of the 2nd strip and the beginning of the 3rd strip, place right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side (left foot and pull the strips back giving you room to sew the next one).
- Pick up the end of the 3rd strip and the beginning of the 4th strip, place right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side (left foot and pull the strips back giving you room to sew the next one).
- Repeat this to the very end.
- When you reach the end you will need to snip the threads where you sewed then together.
- Find both ends of your long strip (1600″).
- Take the beginning of the first strip and the end of the last strip, place them right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side.
- Stop often and make sure your fabric is straight.
- This step will take a while.
Video #3
- Pick up where we left off in video 2 and sew to the end.
- When you reach the end use scissors to cut across.
- Take both ends and place them right sides facing together and sew down the right side with a 1/4 inch seam (all the way to the end). Keep seams flat if you can.
- Repeat Step 2 and 3 for a total of five times.
Video #4
- Now that our quilt top is complete we need to check it for holes and trim all the threads.
- Measure for backing and binding fabric using the Robert Kaufmann Quilting Calculator (app on iPhone).
- Press your Quilt and use Starch.
- Take the Quilt Top, Backing Fabric, Binding Fabric to a long arm quilter to complete.
- Optional: If you want a label on the back of your quilt, also take it to the long arm quilter.
Here’s a picture of the quilt … please ignore the wrinkles! I did not have time to iron this round of quilts … next time I will be sure to take pictures before I wash them.
