A standard Jelly Roll Race Quilt produces a quilt top that is approximately 50? x 64?. It uses one 40 strip Jelly Roll Fabric collection, sewn into a single, super long strip, that is then folded in half and sew together along one edge, you cut the folded edge open and then repeat for a total of 5 seams. This doubles the width of the Jelly Roll quilt top each time, and cuts the length in half. You end up with a quilt top that is a series of offset strips that come together in a surprisingly fast and fun fashion. You can’t really tell what it will look like until it is all done and you spread it out for the first time. It feels like quilt magic. If you haven’t tried to make a Jelly Roll Race Quilt… give it a go. I had a great time making mine and plan to make many more.
