Quilter question!!! Has anyone ever made a quilt using Jelly Rolls?

[jacks'thunder]

I found these on sale for 40%off and I could not pass them up! The colors just spoke to me! LOL! Any-hoo I have never made a quilt using Jelly Rolls and Fat Quarters!

Does anyone have a pattern they could share? Any pictures of yours? I do much better with a visual!! LOL!! I just need a general idea how to start and I can play with it from there.

Thanks!

Do a google search and you'll find tons of patterns for Fat Quarters and jelly rolls, don't know how many you'll find for a combination of both. Don't think I've ever put both together in a quilt.

Here's a Yellow Brick Road quilt I made awhile ago, its a FQ pattern:





The borders were just fabric I had in my stash.

Here's a quilt I made with a jelly roll, its called "Jelly Roll Race" (directions can be found on-line):

I love those colors!!! They remind me of Spring!

Rail Fence blocks can be made from jelly rolls, and there are lots of patterns that use Rail Fence blocks. Log Cabin blocks.

Here are photos of a lap quilt I made from Jelly Roll material and Charm Squares.

And a purse that I made from the same Jelly Roll and matching material.

One thing that I don't like about Jelly Rolls and Charm Squares is that you can't prewash (pre-shrink) the material before you sew it together. Other than that it is nice to work with.

Have fun!

Very pretty, Lois. [i don't prewash anything. I like the crisp new fabric (I don't like starch, so wouldn't pre-wash and then starch to get the crispness back).]

I did do a search! LOL! And the ideas were crazy endless!! LOL!! Thank you all! I just needed a direction but I'm still not sure... maybe I'll just stash them for a while until i get a clear vision.
