I was looking for a border to put around a panel and came across your channel I really like the braided boarder. Thank you for this idea. Not quite sure how many different fabric you need but I think you used 6 or 7, 😀

[@bayhillstudio]

I used all of the fabrics that came in the jelly roll. Every jelly roll might be a little different in how many different designs are included, and that is totally fine, because the technique will remain the same.

How many rolly polly bundles did you use for the 6" border? My daughter is going to make this for the county fair I think.

[@bayhillstudio]

Good question - if I remember correctly, I only used one rolie polie bundle, but that would vary depending on the size of your quilt.

@@bayhillstudio we ended up making two quilts using this tutorial for 4-H and the county fair! We used one plus part of another roll to get it done. We are making three more for friends and family now!

[@bayhillstudio]

@@Couponsization Fantastic! So glad to hear it. It is such a fun and easy border to make.

Did you use only ONE jelly roll for the Guadalupe panel? Great idea!

[@bayhillstudio]

Yes, just one jelly roll for this border
