This is a quilt I made from a free pattern off the internet. It’s my favourite jelly roll quilt so far. https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictur...e-t285710.html Hopefully this link works to my post. It was on England Street Quilts website, as mentioned in my post. I believe it’s called Summer at the Park.

im having the same problem as you, trying to find a pattern I love that’ll use up 3 jelly rolls the same for a planned quilt I’ve changed my mind on https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...s/confused.png

Also, depending on what you’re looking for, I’ve found several quilts that while they aren’t ‘advertised’ as a jelly roll quilt, they do use 2 1/2” pieces or smaller strips, where a jelly roll could be used. I like a quilt that doesn’t scream Jelly Roll personally, so that’s what I’ve been looking for. I made another quilt that can be made with a jelly roll called Interlock. If you google it, you’ll have no problem finding it. Here’s mine...sorry it’s sideways. I have more trouble uploading than I used to on here it seems. :( This quilt was actually not made with a jelly roll, I just cut my own strips :).

Do you like modern design? I believe her name is Christa Wilson, she has a book using jelly rolls. The only one that I have made is called dots and dashes? Very easy and looks amazing with black background. Hope the information is correct.

Kwilter, that pattern is also called “summer in the park “ it’s an old pattern on MSQC. Your quilt is stunning!

Thanks! Yes, I just saw the MSQC pattern this morning when I was looking for a picture...then remembered I’d posted my own on the QB. The England Street Quilts one is a free pattern.

Donna Jordan makes a lot of patterns with jelly rolls. Many of the patterns have YouTube video instructions to go with them.

I also got tired of using jelly rolls for rail fence quilts. I'm currently in the process of using jelly rolls to make a faux log cabin quilt. This project is still a work in progress, but this photo shows what 8 faux log cabin blocks from jelly rolls look like. Instructions for a faux log cabin block are here:

Do you mind telling me what degree these strips are cut for this?

In ckcowl's picture, there are 8 diamonds all meeting at the very center - 360 degrees divided by 8 tells you that the diamonds were cut on 45 degree angle. (Math is fun! And useful.)
