Which is September 20th!!
And our QOV Sew day... so!! Each year for that past couple of years we have done some kind of Jelly Roll Quilt. Its fun, its a race, and we really don't care if we finish in a day.... at some time - they all get finished!!
This Year - we are doing what I am Calling the Jelly Roll Plus quilt - because! You need 60 strips... so 3 Jelly Rolls will make 2 - 60 x 80 inch Quilts.
You have seen patterns like this before I am sure - but! I wrote up our version for my group and will post it here as well .
Link to the Jelly Roll Plus Pattern HERE Each block is 10 1/2 inches - and all Sewn - should make a 60 x 80 inch quilt - which is my Preferred size for a Quilt of Valor!!
Also - I am cutting all the kits for our sew day out of Yardage. We were donated a box and I just thought that cutting it up myself would be a good use of it..... and then I got tired. So I am getting the pieces prepped and K took over at the AccuCut machine.
I tried to take a photo of him, as the dogs were on each side of him - watching him - but! He said no to using it haha!!
Are you doing anything for National Jelly Roll Day?

Sounds like a lot of fun. Glad you can get help on the cutting. That's a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know there was such a thing as Nat'l Jelly Roll Day! I suppose I can find some label for each day of the year! lol I like the pattern you have picked!
ReplyDeleteDidn't even know it was coming up! I don't use a lot of Jelly Rolls. But maybe I'll plan something using 2.5" strips for Saturday. I might even have an idea. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYeah for planning ahead. I have been comtemplating what project to do, but will be interfered by a couple outdoor festivals and fairs. Plus my daughter will be visiting. Love your design and can't wait to see it done.
ReplyDeleteYou jelly roll plus is great! I hope you have a super fun day with your group sewing up the strips! I've been out of the loop and didn't realize it was jelly roll day so soon! I might make a couple blocks that use 2 1/2inch strips though!
ReplyDeleteOh yes - the Jelly Roll Plus will be another really good pattern for your sew day. Too bad we couldn't see how industrious and helpful that K and the dogs were. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave fun racing! I don't have any specific plans for jelly roll day... yet. ;) Thanks for sharing with everyone in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteFun pattern and so sweet of you to share it. I didn't even turn on my machine on Sew a Jelly Roll Day, but I do have something in mind for my Tula Pink jelly roll, if that plan comes together! LOL Have a great week and thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteNicely done Alycia. We are trying to decide what we will do for National sew Day. We too had a huge fabric donation this year.
