No, not the kind you eat, the kind you quilt with. A Jellyroll is a collection of 2.5&#8243; strips, usually one from each fabric of a fabric collection, so there are no repeats and they all go together without much effort on the part of the quilter. That&#8217;s fabulous if you ask me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple visual examples since I wasn&#8217;t smart enough to take pictures of mine before unwinding them \ud83d\ude09\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-433 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll2-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/jellyroll2.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>(I borrowed these images from <a title=\"Fat Quarter Shop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fatquartershop.com\/Moda-Jelly-Rolls-Moda-Fabric.asp\" target=\"_blank\">The Fat Quarter Shop<\/a>.

I&#8217;ll return the favour \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n<p>This quilt is one I designed with a jellyroll in mind, but you don&#8217;t need to use a jellyroll to make it, it&#8217;s super flexible. I&#8217;d recommend doing it scrappy, but if that&#8217;s not your thing, it&#8217;s all good. Just have two colors of fabric or two distinct groups of fabric (light\/dark bright\/dark blue\/white whatever\/whatever). It&#8217;s a super easy quilt that looks far trickier than it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">~*~<\/p>\n<p>I am going to call my fabric groups &#8216;Light&#8217; and &#8216;Dark&#8217; but you can use any two high contrast types of fabric. We&#8217;ll be putting this block together using strips of fabric. Because of the way we&#8217;re going to sew it together as long as your strips are at least 20&#8243; long you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<p>The length of your strips doesn&#8217;t matter a whole lot, it&#8217;s the width that counts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Light:<\/strong><br \/>\n10 strips that 2&#8243; wide<br \/>\n20 strips that are 1.25&#8243; wide<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dark:<\/strong><br \/>\n10 strips that are 2&#8243; wide<br \/>\n20 strips that are 14&#8243; x 1.25&#8243; wide<\/p>\n<p>So now I have strips that are light and thin, strips that are light and thick plus strips that are dark and thin and strips which are dark and thick.
