Jelly Roll Racing!
Ready ... set ... go!
1When and where?
August 1, 2024 General Meeting
Ehlers Event Center
8150 Knott Avenue
Buena Park, CA 90620
2What Happens?
We're making quilts using the Jelly Roll Race method of strip piecing. It's FAST! and FUN! Prices will be awarded to the fastest teams and all team members. Grand prizes will be awarded at the November 7 meeting for the favorite finished quilts.
All contest quilts will be donated to Acacia for our Tea, Opportunity Quilt, or Philanthropy, as determined by the Board. All finished tops will be eligible for finished quilt awards. Backing fabric, sashing and/or border fabric will be provided from the Acacia stash or you may provide your own. Batting will also be provided.
3How do I participate?
Sign up a team of 3 to 4 team members. Give your team a name at signup!
To make the Jelly Roll Race quilt you will need:
- One Jelly Roll (40 strips of fabric that measure 2.5” x 41-45”) or cut your own. An additional accent piece (square, rectangle, triangle, or parallelogram) not exceeding 6”, may be sewn to each strip in advance. A few Jelly rolls will be available at sign-up.
- Your team may sign up to go to storage and choose fabrics and/or backing. Batting will be available at the September meeting, or sooner if needed.
- Matching or neutral thread. You need two full bobbins and extras just in case!
- Full-size scissors and small scissors.
- Two sewing machines in case one has a problem during the contest. Bring machine accessories and tools.
