You would think that, with a quilt top that is just waiting to be assembled, another quilt for which I need to cut the fabric, a hanging quilt I have pulled out of its package in order to start it, and a couple of panels that will eventually be turned into small quilts, I would not be thinking about yet another quilt project. Well, you’d be wrong.
I have to admit that jelly rolls have long puzzled me. Why would you want to buy a roll of pre-cut strips of fabric? I mean, sure, it would save you some time, but I just couldn’t see what type of project could profit from these rather expensive fabric strips.
Well, this week, I discovered that you can make a very quick lap quilt just using a single jelly roll. I’ve been considering making myself a lap quilt because I am always cold and knitting or crocheting an afghan takes forever (I already have made myself a crochet afghan, but more afghans are always better). There are some really beautiful rainbow jelly roll quilts out there that I would love to emulate.
So add the jelly roll quilt to Future Projects I Promise I will Get To As Soon As I Finish The Projects I have Already Started.
