Jelly Roll Race 2

[@DonnaJones-z1r]

12:14 Pm. This is a fun quilt I enjoy all the videos you do. I'm disabled and don't get out very much so I sew baby quilts and donate them. In the last 4 years my grand girls have come and all they want to do is sew which makes me happy when you consider all the peer pressure there is in this world today for teens to do. Keep doing what you are doing. I'm carrying on a family tradition I would sew under wear and clothes with my grandma my dad went to Canadian school and they needed to learn to crochet, darn and knit he taught us those things in the winter when he was laid off

[@Rolanda2656]

I really enjoy your tutorials. They are easy to follow. I wish I had sent you this sooner. Back in 2012 my quilt group had a jelly roll race, and one of the quilters didn't like her fabrics, so she cut 2 1/2" squares and added them to each strip. It changed her fabrics and changed the jelly roll race. I wish I had sent this to you then. It's amazing how quilters think and create, and you do it so well.

[@dorenenagy564]

Loved the blooper on this one too. You make me laugh. I need that. Love your tutorials. I'm a new quilter and going through all the videos to see what I think I can do. Problem, your such a good teacher, I don't think I will have any problem doing any of them. Now to sort out the money to purchase all these projects. lol

[@kathywatkins6446]

Thank you so much! I love your videos. I have learned to enjoy quilting again because of you!

[@nancyshriner6277]

I did 3 quilts with the 1st jelly roll race & loved how quick it was, so when I saw this I had to try it. Difference is I picked out 5 solid colors that were in the jelly roll & stacked them (1.2.3.4.5) to the side and added one at a time. I had no idea where the colors would show up on the quilt. Wow was I surprised at the end. When I opened it up at the end I had 4 different color groupings and one side that had that one color all along the side. I think this is a great pattern & will use it again.

[@tinaharris1948]

Thank you so much! I really enjoy watching you and love your enthusiasm! You teach me something new everytime. Keep up the great tutorials and I promise to keep watching. You are my favorite. ☺

[@badgersathome]

Loved this one too, Jenny! A hint for your viewers: Yes, you do end up with a huge pile of strips to the side of your chair with any Jelly Roll Race. Trying to keep them on the table as you go makes it too easy to sew things together in ways that will just need to be ripped out. Solution? Keep an empty laundry basket beside you to catch your roll as you sew. I clip the end to the side of the basket once I'm a couple of strips along to make it easier to find when I'm ready to start the next round. Additional Benefits? If you have to stop for any reason, you can get up quickly without tangling your feet, PLUS you have a way to set your work aside, safe from kids & dogs, if not cats. ;-) Another JRR version? It may have been said already, and it does take a little more cutting/sewing, but try cutting your strips in half width-wise before joining them. You get more variety & a scrappier looking quilt. It's also easier to really MAKE it a scrappier quilt by swapping around jelly roll half-strips! As Jenny has said before, fabric designers tend to stay in the same colorways. Swap around different half-strips from different Kate Spain collections, or within any of your favorite designers' collections. Talk to your quilting guild and other quilter friends; before you know it you'll have LOTS of half-strips for LOTS of JRR quilts. To cut them, don't bother unfolding them, just grab one and cut off the little pressed fold. As you cut, put each half of the cut strip(s) down in a seperate pile so you're more or less in the original order (getting a few mixed up & out of precise order is no big deal. Just consider it a design variation & keep going!) You can cut the selvages at the same time. NOTE: if you cut several strips at a time remember that you still need to separate each cut strip. A Benefit from halving your strips is that you don't waste that 18" at the start: you have twice as many diagonal joins or 2.5" squares, so their ALL OVER! And a Benefit from halving them as I suggested is that you don't have to worry about pressing out those annoying folds. So grab a Jelly Roll or two & get Racing!

You are awesome, Deb!!!! We adore your suggestions and we're so lucky to have you in our little community!!!!

[@Tam-te5nh]

This is what I plan to do because I will have to cut 2.5” strips from fat quarters. I’m so glad to know it will work like I want it to! Thank you

[@Vocalist1969]

Variation idea: use an all white JR and use multi color squares.

[@terriolson975]

That is a great idea!

[@Tam-te5nh]

That is my plan - low volume strips & patterned, colored squares.

[@marilynmccall2879]

Love your idea. Going to try it.😊

[@natashalindner2059]

Thanks so much, love this. My nanna is trapped in a nursing home with cream walls everywhere and what saddens me most is that depression has been diagnosed. With 8 weeks to Christmas, and I am cutting 5 inch strips and squares and tomorrow afternoon this quilt top will be made. If I could hug you I would because I feel the tears in my eyes knowing my quilt might be the thing that inspires her to have faith in her new home.

[@msqcservice6969]

Hello Amy, Thanks so very much this is such a fun and easy quilt to make !

[@crystallovell6386]

You are so funny and down to earth... Love love your videos

[@1234searose]

I made your jelly roll quilt before and it came out so adorable, next will be the jelly roll quilt race 2...I love your videos, and always looking forward for the next one to come out :)

[@74beccaj]

I love it, thanks for the help opening the roll, it's like sending a child off to school for the first time.. lol it's was hilarious.

[@lisasteigerwald-kana8907]

Thanks! Your video really helped me with my jelly roll quilt!!

[@katesgate]

Love this Jenny! You're a real pip!

[@happygrandma111]

so Good Jenny !! Thanks for all your help - I have learnt a lot from you -- Louise

[@marietteforget7804]

Hi and thanks a lot! 😎🌸 Happy Holidays!

[@suzyroy3360]

Lol Love it!!!!! :D thanks for the fun and sharing your sewing knowledge! just Awsome!! Suzy from québec xxxx

[@smileytow1925]

You are so cute!!! Love the way the jelly roll quilts turn out!

[@institches100]

I love this.

[@hsthomas09]

Love it! I pieced a queen-sized quilt using the same method. The strips were various black and white prints and the squares were hot pink in varying widths.

[@Nikkmb33]

This was the first video I watched when trying to learn how to quilt. I can definitively say that Missouri Star Quilt Co has not only taught me how to quilt and inspired me but also made me more confidant as a quilter and less intimidated by different designs. When I come across pattern I'm unfamiliar with I check to see if you've made a video about it before I even read the pattern. The sky is the limit! Or I feel that way because of videos like this. I became hooked on Missouri Star after this video and have made two jelly roll quilts now then I went over to the website and discovered your daily deals much to my husband's dismay lol You guys are great, thank you for everything that you do!

[@manjusharron]

U r awesome...got a new subscriber from India

[@TPSLONG]

You are just wonderful!!! The headlights part actually made me laugh out loud... And I'm at work so :3 thank you for this tutorial I am really new to quilting and don't know anyone who quilts so this helps me a lot. Thank you so much!!! ^_^

[@janwarner1983]

Thanks Jenny! I made one today!

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

I think I like variation more than original!!

[@peggysnow8453]

I sewed the squares onto each jelly roll strip first, then went to sew the strips together in one continues strip. More prep time but the second sewing goes much faster I thought.

[@AgainEven]

I watched the first race and was entranced, but was still having questions about the folds at the bottom and when to cut. Im new to quilting, but you really made this very, very clear! Thanks a ton for that :)

[@marydelgado7187]

[@donnarichey144]

You don't say what size it turned out to be. What if you wanted to make it bigger for a queen size bed? T his is from jelly roll race 2 March 6th 2014

[@zoozo1376]

I am impressed by your business in terms of artistic taste and accuracy of designs and simplicity of implementation Ohz what distinguish you

[@debmckasson1953]

When I make a jelly roll race quilt, I use a binder clip on the first strip to tell where it is. That way I can find it fast to sew the end to the beginning.

[@mjaltom]

I like that thought. I think I'll use a big binder clip and clip the start to the table.

[@lynnwelch6223]

Of course the answer is on google and no math needed - here is a chart, hope this helps others who like me was worried about my quilt math. Quilt size # of jelly rolls Size in inches (approx.) Crib or baby quilt 1/2 package or 20 strips 32 1/2 by 50 Lap 1 package or 40 strips 50 by 64 Twin 1 1/2 packages or 70 strips 64 by 88 Queen 3 packages or 105 strips 86 by 93 King 3 packages or 120 strips 104 by 93 all strips are the standard size of 40 inches

[@Marialla.]

I have a great Jelly Roll Race variation idea! After sewing a regular Jelly Roll Race flimsy, cut it into bias strips as wide as your original strips were. The Continuous Bias Method which many quilters use for their binding strips is really appropriate here! Now you make a new Jelly Roll Race (bias edition) from those new bias strips. The colors and shapes are just scintillating! This quilt is so great for those of us who prefer angles to squares, and smaller pieces better than large swaths of color.

[@janclark3810]

So cute!!

[@HoneyK001]

If you wanted to make a queen size how many jelly rolls would you need?

[@reinadegrillos]

I think Jordan Fabrics' has the response to that. I think you have to have 2 jelly rolls, and three for the king size.

[@aleneknox7369]

Since I get your great news daily on my computer, I am SERIOUSLY wondering if you would consider ME adopting YOU! I"m old, you are young, you make me giggle, you inspire me! You refresh the OLD brain that wants to 'stick with old', yet you make it so easy and your quilts POP! YOU are the type of lady that I'd like to be, so IF you let me adopt you I could have THREE daughters. KIdding - your mom would likely NOT Like that whatsoever! I DO LOVE your site/shop/ALL! You seem SO full of love, bounce and witt. PLUS being the employer of many of your town. MY grandma was born TX County MO (MissourA) Giggling along, alene

[@9999winner]

i make a few like this, i also cut about 1/2 if them in half and sew them together a lot of different sizes then in quilt

[@gillclavey7336]

This is lovely and I want to start one straight away. One question... my jelly roll has two of each pattern. Is it still ok to join the same fabric to each side of the contrasting square or should they be separated? Thanks!

[@lpen7]

Made my first JR Race quilt a few days ago. I cut my (most of) strips in half for a little different effect. I loved doing it and will for sure try this one!

[@yolandasoto1240]

I did this quilt, and it turned out beautiful. Your tutorials are so much fun to watch. Your instructions are clear . Thank you....l

[@alisongaylord9569]

I know this is a 6 year old post. I bought my first jelly roll at Joanns. A lady suggested to me to watch your video before I opened it. I'm so glad I did. You make quilting so much fun🙂 I have a question. What do I need to do differently if I were to make this a king size quilt?

[@Pppr-yf2hu]

the ribbon comes in handy to roll your quilts up

[@happyhoney3433]

Pamela P3pp3r54 Good tip!

[@hehasrizenful]

Jenny you make everything look so much fun I want to try everything thank you for that is really helpful

[@thebeatonpath]

I have a batik jelly roll I was saving to make a rope purse, but I'm using your customer's idea of black squares instead! I have a friend getting married soon who would probably love it and it goes together so quickly!

[@paulineelertson7902]

I am so glad you did the jellyroll again. I am doing one right now and put bright colored squares in a black to light gray strips. I realized what I did wrong when I sewed the strips all together. Thanks for all of your help.

[@proft7211]

How big is the finished quilt with only one jelly roll? I’d like an over sized throw for winter nights by the TV

[@dorsethillbeads]

how would you quilt the jelly roll quilt? I am new to quilting and finished my top but NOW WHAT DO I DO??? Do you have a video to show how to finish and do the quilting?

[@pattifry264]

I would also like to see how the border and backing is attached. Yes I am new to quilting and sewing in general. Love your videos. I have machine and JR ready to begin.

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Go on their web site and send it to them not be quilted.

[@ginapoof]

You are such an inspiration, Jenny! I haven't quilted since my Mom died 13 years ago (she is the one who taught me to sew!)...and now that I have a newborn son, I felt like I needed to quilt again. You are awesome, and I love watching your videos! Thank you so much!

[@ceciliadesira1206]

Thank you for sharing your tutorial .

[@carmenhall9079]

The white squares are 2.5 by 2.5? Does it matter really? Can they be different?

[@JulieCCinCO]

What size does this finish with one jelly roll and a yard for the squares? With and without the borders? (Realizing I'd need two yards for borders.)

[@gloriabyers672]

Love Jelly race 1 and 2..... couple weeks ago you did a spot on F&P where you applied an inset AWESOME the application of the inset was not clear. are there directions to do that..... or is that gonna be Jelly Roll Race 3..... I love all your videos. you make learning to quilt easy and fun. THANK YOU !!!!!

[@dionnepalomino4501]

I'm working on this quilt now! But one question... Why are my accent squares lining up side by side on some rows?

[@jostovall5491]

Love your tutorial on Jelly Roll Race 2 but also love just the Jelly Roll Race ~ so funny. Thank you for sharing!

[@kathypulaski8530]

Love this tutorial....I've got 6 jelly rolls waiting in the wings!

[@lorrainebaxter8175]

Another amazing quilt Jenny, I love watching your tutorials. You make sewing so much fun.

[@SR-ww4zs]

Love watching your tutorials ! I watch your first one l doing this now your the greatest😄

[@anandavanderwesthuizen1484]

Do I cut 18" off only the first JR strip or off every strip? Love the fabric. Really pretty

[@laurasnider5186]

Just the first one!

[@louised6790]

Who the heck could possibly give this a thumbs down?!?! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this :D

[@kathyweller9160]

Can't wait to give this a try. Made the 1st Jelly Roll Race quilt with our guild, but love how the square addition adds an appealing "pop".

[@debbieclark1716]

I made this with a camper fabric...there are some directional prints. So, some of the strips are upside down. It was still cute. This was my first jelly roll race. I'm a newer quilter, so I'm learning little lessons with each project. I love, love, love the tutorials! Thank you for helping me be more courageous in trying new blocks! 😃

[@casegovia1]

This is my favorite tutorial! I love that it goes together so fast but that it also uses the extra little blocks to catch the eye throughout the quilt. This is one of many tutorials that lets me put together a quilt top in just a few hours!

[@marytallant1165]

How many jelly rolls would I need to make a King or Queen Quilt?

[@206gmp]

I have used this technique quite a few times, and it always comes out great! My favorite one that I made was using a black and white jelly roll, and my squares were batik solids in hot pink, lime green, orange, purple, turquoise and yellow. The little squares are just a pop of color throughout the whole quilt.

[@fabulousmarilyn3.088]

How much yardage of backing and batting do I need for this please, sorry It will be my first one. I'm so nervours

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

You'll need 4 1/4 yards of 44" wide fabric for your backing, cut in half and then sewn back together lengthwise to make a rectangle big enough to cover the back of your quilt, Marilyn. After you've done that, you can match your batting to that size. Hope this helps!

[@greydogblues]

i love this! i have made several jr race quilts with the block look, instead of slant seam. MSQC made them extra special by doing the machine quilting for me. that little square adds so much interest. love this fabric, too - great job again MSQC team! (i use that 18" strip by cutting in smaller strips and placing them randomly.)

[@garymyers3289]

I surely enjoy your tutorials. I am 67 and a beginner quilter. Very relaxing hobby. The kids love my quilts even with the mistakes within them, I think that makes them interesting.

[@pdquilty2970]

Made this with using half a charm (2-1/2" x 5") between each strip. Result is great!

[@diannewhite9848]

I really enjoyed this tutorial as it gave me the knowledge and confidence to make my first, jelly roll quilt. Just love Jenny's teaching technique, it's fun learning. Jelly Rolls are one of my favourite ways to quit. I have even used the technique to make shoulder bags Thanks Jenny and Missouri Star Quilt Company for giving me the confidence to work outside my comfort zone.

[@seagrass100]

[@mariannefinnegan9093]

Do you Quilt your finished top on your machine?

[@DeborahParsons]

Oooh... do this with black and whites and make the squares in bright colors 😁

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Never thought of that. Good idea.

[@AthenaSchroedinger]

I like the idea of the little squares. Will have to try that. :)

[@jessicadean6802]

This is currently my favorite MSQC video! I love how easily and quickly this quilt goes together, perfect for when I need a quilt for a last minute gift!

[@marywinters1766]

Jenny, I am missing this somehow....how do you KEEP from having a fold -----you mention "painstakingly keep from having a fold".....is there a way to do this and what would it look like, in description? Thanks for such lovely, clever quilts....

[@clairepaul3573]

when backing a quilt like this... how do u work out how much fabric u need? i am new to quilting and this is my biggest question

[@kimberlygibson6179]

All of the Jelly Rolls that I have purchased have more than 1 strip of the same material. Won't that mess up the quilt having the same strips in a row? Thanks.

[@Rebecca.G]

Awesome! At the end of the when you said 'what do you want' I was thinking... I want that nice sounding male voice to come out and stop hiding haha

[@melanievarela4048]

That's probably her son Al. He is actually in a couple of the other videos. Handsome fella. But then all her children are beautiful and talented.

[@Rebecca.G]

Thanks Melanie! You're right it's probably Al. He is still too camera shy though hehe

[@futurenurse12]

Would the jelly roll be a good choice to make a quilt for a queen or king sized bed?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

It certainly can be made that large, Yolanda! It'd be a great choice.

[@kassiekussman2615]

Love this quilt! What size backing fabric do you need?

[@janmason6056]

When Jenny says she cuts ends to 18inches does that mean all of the strips? Sorry I am confused. Thank you

[@goldie8303]

No, you only cut the very first strip. Making the first one shorter than the rest "forces" them out of perfectly aligning with each other when you make the very first fold to start making the seam. Forcing them out of alignment is what makes the strips/prints stagger throughout the completed quilt. This is what she meant when she said that not doing this would make all the white blocks line up along the edges, which you don't want either.

[@BrokebutCreative]

Okay, throwing this out there again. Why not sew the strips together and make a tube and just cut a random spot instead of cutting off 18 inches...?

[@lindarather3640]

Finally have all my supplies & I'm ready to make this quilt. Can't wait!

[@lynnwelch6223]

Oh my quilt math!!! I want to make a 66x86 (twin size), that can include boarder(s). So of course I am lost on how many strips I will need before I put on any boarder(s). The 66 inches is the width (after boarder(s)), so say 60 inches before any boards x number of rows (?) not sure how I would know how many rows. So I can't get the number I would divide by 40 inch strip. In your example of 80" wide, how did you come up with 48 rows? Its not 80/2.5 (width of a strip) as that would be 32. Then there is the problem with getting the 86" length, my guess here is that I would stop sewing the strips together once they are long enough - so 1st sew is 800, then 400, 200, 100 and I couldn't fold and sew again as it would be too short at 50 inches. So I end up with 100 inches and would need to trim that down to 80 inches so I can add my boards. Do I at least have that part correct? I am as you can see very confused and would very much appreciate help with the math of this twin size quilt. Thank you.

[@karlagarvert3731]

How large is the finished quilt? 6:36

[@sonyacrasper8749]

Beginner here: what size is the quilt hanging in the back of the video? I ordered a 40 pc roll to make my adult son a quilt (forest green colors). What size will this make? I'm thinking of doing black for the squares and inner border. You used 1 yard of white and 1 yard of for the outer boarder. Will I need 1.5 yards or 2 yards since I'm using the 40 pc? Also, I've watched several videos in which it is mentioned briefly that the jelly roll is the back of the quilt. I will be using it as the front. However, my question is when people us it for the back of the quilt is the front a simple front? I'm having trouble envisioning a jolly roll for the back with a busy front. Do you have pictures you can share the front and back? Thank you so much for your help.

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

Jenny, you're so cute! I saw this version at a quilt store where I live but had no idea how they made it! I'm so happy to see you being able to sew without having to stand up! I love seeing you sew with your machine so perfectly embedded in your cabinet! You make it look like a breaze! Love the fabric roll you picked out with the adorable umbrellas on the border!

[@aimeebaker3980]

do you cut in half after each time you sew ends together?

[@toadstrangler1963]

Awesome Jenny!!

[@chinaalia3]

if colors are the same it appears as you continue to move onto each step the colors mix. she did give size suggestion for queen size and I think 3 jelly rolls that have at 40 strips. baby quilts try 20 strip jelly rolls maybe if you use one and too small add a border. if 3 40 piece foes queen one might be enough for baby.

[@debbiedrudge6435]

Jenny, I have 2 identical jelly rolls, is it possible to use these in 1 quilt? I want a larger quilt but I don't want to lose the visual effect you have, possible or not? And would you do one complete jelly roll and then start on the next or would you use the 2 strips of the same colour with the block between?
