Jelly Roll Baby Quilts

 I found these Jelly Rolls at Joanne Fabrics last week. I decided to try making a baby quilt or two or three with them. If you don't know what a Jelly Roll is, it is a roll of 2.5 inch strips of various patterned fabrics.

I stitched the Jelly Rolls together and washed them.. The backs frayed and knotted together a bit, so spent some time trimming them when they were dry. I also pre-washed the flannel fabric for the quilts and the fabric I wanted to use as a binder.

Next, I spent some time ironing everything. I cut my strips for the binding (2"inch width). I ironed them using a binding strip making tool to help fold them. I stitched the front of the binding on all the quilts. I used binding clips to attach the binding to the backs so I could hand stitch the back binding on and hide the thread. The final step was to tie all the quilts with DMC Floss. Now they are finished and I can put them up for sale or use them as gifts. We'll See which I do.
