Two people can sew at once while joining strips end to end if desired
Strips can be joined straight across or diagonally
Accent pieces may be added while joining (or in advance), if desired.
As strips are being sewn, one team member should press seams open or all one direction.
When all strips are sewn together end to end, cut 17” to 20” off of last piece and discard (Important!). Keep out or remove twists before joining.(Also important).
Starting with joined end strips, sew strips together the whole length of doubled strips with 1/4” seam. Stitch length must be at least 2.2” and not be over 2.5”.
Sew strips together to end and cut open, being careful to cut straight across.
Place the now double row ends right sides together and stitch together again, forming 4 rows
Again cut end open, then place 4 rows together and sew, forming 8 rows
Continue until fabric is all attached. Cut last row open, then check for any missed seams. Seams must repaired before quilt is considered finished, so don’t rejoice until you check!.
The Jelly Roll Quilts will measure approximately 54' X 64”, or larger if accent pieces were added.
