Jelly Roll Rug

Something different for the New Year.  All the aspects of quilting and the result is a rug.

This little rug is made from a "Jelly Roll".
It is about 30" by 40".
A jelly roll consists of  2.5 "  wide strips, the width of fabric (usually 42 " ), 42 of them.
The batting used was also precut and on a roll.
Just a bit spendy, however it was fun and quick.

Considering the volume of folded fabric and the amount of stitching, this should be able to take a
lot of wear. I hope.

I will make another but not with precuts, 😉'the stash'  has enough for me to cut a jelly roll's worth.
Happy Quilting,
Gudrun

Jelly rolls

Many quilters are purchasing "precuts" called Jelly-rolls, layer cakes etc. I don't recall all the names but I do recall the names to be bakery like. The names are puzzling to me...is it because quilting like other sedentary occupations can be / is girth spreading like the bakery bits or.... well that is one idea,  just wondering  :)) Where is this going....a smallish quilt made from a fabric jelly roll. Strips 2.5 in. and here ya go...sweet quilt in a trice.

 I quilted straight lines in the stars, except the middle, feathery bits on the lights. I'd love to hear how you would have quilted this one. ( wind blew just as I took the pic...in case you were wondering)

I took a liking to the backing fabric.

the middle star was quilted with a double 16 point star and a couple of circles in the centre.

Hope you are all enjoying a happy Saturday.
