Larissa’s Jelly Roll Quilt

FINISHED SIZE single (twin) bed approx 90″ x 56″ or 225cm x 140cm

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
• Fabric A.
Jelly Roll of your choice
40 strips 2 ½″ x 40″ cut into 5″ strips = 288 strips = 48 coin stacks = 24 blocks
(You will have more 5″ strips but these can be used to make a pieced backing or
binding, or add to your stash)
• Fabric B.
Black homespun cotton cut into 2 ½″ strips (you could use a jelly roll if you don’t want
to cut strips but you will need 1 ¼ Oreo jelly rolls)
Cut 78 strips 2 ½″ x 12 ½″
Cut 52 strips 2 ½″ x 15 ½″
• Fabric for backing and binding
• Batting
• Matching thread

COMPLETED BLOCK

• All seams are ¼″

• Do not pre wash fabric, Jelly Roll will fray.
• Press seam allowances to one side without
steam due to the fact that the strips are not pre
washed.
• Use a colour catcher when washing your
finished quilt for the first time.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut each jelly roll strip into 5″ lengths.

Trim off the selvedges as you cut the

strips.

Arrange jelly roll strips in stacks of six

strips.

Note: You can either do this randomly or

be fussy and try to have only one of each
fabric in each coin stack.

Sew the coin stack sets together using an accurate ¼″

seam. Chain piece the stacks in pairs, it’s much faster
(http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art47558.asp)

Press seam allowances to one side.

You should have 48 coin stacks that

measure 12″ x 5″. Each quilt block will
contain 2 coin stacks.

Cut each 40″ length of black into two 12″

lengths and the remainder piece will be
used for the long sides of the blocks.

Join two coin stacks together with one

black strip (12″ x 2 ½″) in the middle to
create the center of the block. Press seam
allowances to one side.

Sew a black strip on both sides of the block parallel to the center strip. Press seam
allowances to one side

Your block should now measure 15 ½″ x 12″.

Sew black strip (2 ½″ x 15 ½″) on the remaining two unfinished sides to complete the
block. Press seam allowances to one side.
The finished block should measure 16 ½″ x 15 ½″

Complete this process until all the coins stacks are blocked.
You need 24 blocks total.
Lay blocks out randomly 6 high by 4 wide

Hint: Try to chain piece as much as possible to cut down on sewing time. Groups of five
to ten work best.
Hint: Take a photo of block arrangement and check to see if any blocks stand out or
blend in to much and rearrange as necessary

Sew the blocks together with an accurate ¼″ seam to make your quilt top.

Press well and make a quilt sandwich. Quilt top, batting, backing

Quilt in the ditch as desired. I quilted around each coin stack and between each coin.

Attach binding (and hanging sleeve if desired) with a ¼″ seam allowance and hand
stitch in place (http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_look_now/2008/10/the-ins-and-
outs-of-bindings.html)
