Jelly Roll Race quilt with a 2.5" strip set or Jelly Roll called "After the Rain" by Figo. These fabrics and colors are amazing for this type of quilt. This tutorial goes slower and shows the steps to take to make this easy quilt top. No pattern; just watch and sew. Finished size is 50" X 62". #figo #aftertherain #jellyrollrace #jelloroll - Навчання та стиль
🌺Please don’t get discouraged because of some of the rude comments. Your doing a great job.💕
Thank you
@@SoftSquares I ask that you ignore the keyboard warriors and take their criticism with less than a grain of salt. The Negative Nancies and “Karen”s of the world are multiplying like rabid cats. Keep doing what you’re doing - it takes a lot of time and effort to put a video tutorial together. These people could at any time choose to hit the pause button and choose to watch another video, yet here they are taking the time to be nasty. Ignore their unhappiness in life. That’s on them, not you, and it’s not your responsibility to make them happy.
Keep doing what you’re doing! Some of us choose the find the value in anything.
Lovely quilt!
Thanks for showing a slowed down video of how to do this. All the other videos are so quick I couldn't figure it out.
Glad I could help!
I like doing the jelly race, remember you need to have about 4 to 5 bobbins ready.
Good point
I love jelly roll race quilt tops. Its so interesting to see what they look like when theyre done.
Some of them really amaze me at how cool they turn out.
Just finished a Jelly Roll race over thanksgiving that included a ton of scraps (no actual Jelly roll). I cut up some FQ, had some binding leftovers, it was just a big pile. After the 2 strip set I cut in some 4 patches I had made from scraps also. Final product - 64 x 105. I trimmed off the bottom and added 2 border strips on the side to bring to it to 75 x 98 - so a very respectable Twin XL. If you have a pile of scraps and a College Bound teen - great way to make them a quick quilt. Used some flannel 108, and quilted with diagonal lines. Machine binding. Simple, fast and if you really want a quilt in a weekend - it CAN BE DONE.
This technique works well with scraps. I'll bet it looks awesome!
Great idea with the 4 patches. 😊
Love this idea!! And thanks for adding what you did to make the size you want! I love a community of sharing our ideas!
I don’t do the corner to corner I just sew straight but I’ve done my first one and already have jelly rolls for the next. Looks really pretty.
thanks. this one was fun
Jelly roll race quilts are my favorite. Nice job.
thank you
Thank you for this video! Blessings!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video!❣
You are so welcome!
That turned out so pretty! I have a jelly roll would like to try this with. It looks like fun! I think, since my jelly roll is all solids in one color family, I may put a little square of white or a print between each strip, just for interest. Thanks for sharing, this is such a nice way to make a quilt because it is not complicated, yet turns out lovely!
I love the idea of adding something between the strips. Good luck.
cannot wait to do one
it's a lot of fun
I’m currently in the mild of one of these ❤❤❤❤
This is a great project for jello rolls. It works with just about any fabric line.
I love it
It's quick and easy
Put a clip on each end of the chain and it will be a lot easier to find when you get to the end.
That's a wonderful idea. Thank you.
Was told in class ... to pin end of it to your shirt..and its always easy to find and no twists..
What is the thing called with all the lines on please
I'm using something from Steady Betty, but I have been unable to locate them to tell you if you can even get them any more. But, I also use a special tape for your machine. Cluck Cluck Sew offers them and I've seen them on Temu. The take has 1/4 marks and the center line. It's more basic, but I use that a lot now.
What I meant was I’d like you to do a video that shows how to complete the quilt. For example, how do I attach the jelly roll sheets to batting and to a bottom piece and how do I bind it?
Thank you for clarifying. I would love to do a video that shows these things. I will work on one soon.
Very helpful, but I am a beginner and would like to see how you actually made this into a quilt.
The process is simple. You sew the two ends (of the one very long string of strips) together. Repeat until it is the size you like. The video does explain this, but I can see how it could be confusing.
@@SoftSquares perhaps she means the process of creating the entire quilt, and not just creating the top 😀
What is the steady Betty? Beautiful quilt ❤
Thank you. The Steady Betty is a seam guide sticker that helps with seam allowance. It's a great tool.
Why aren't you pressing the joins? Seems to me that would be as beneficial as cutting off selvedges if not more so. Another question: why is it important to find a jelly roll that has big contrast? I would think that a low volume roll could also be interesting in a more subtle way.-But I have not tried this so maybe I am incorrect. Thanks!
Pressing the joints is something you can do, but I don't find it necessary. It's a personal preference. I like the jelly rolls with lots of contrast, not just large prints. This is because it will show off the different fabric strips used, but you can make these types of quilts anyway you like. Again, it's just my preference, but it's not a rule. Thank you for your feedback.
@@SoftSquares I think the contrasted sections turned out great! It gives your quilt life and not just blended colors. With jelly roll quilts you never know what you’re going to get. I will rewatch the video to see how the strip colors were added to get the chunky contrast effect. That is also a gorgeous jelly roll!
Show finished first please, with size. I’d like to decide if I want to invest time in this beforehand
Thank you for your suggestion. I had not finished the quilt at the time I posted the video, but there is a link at the top of the description that has been added since then. It will show size and multiple pictures of the finished quilt. I hope this helps
Her final size was 49 x 57
Or you could slide the button to the right and see the finished quilt! There, I just saved you 28 minutes!
This UA-camr has taken suggestions graciously and I think rather than *telling” her what to do, maybe you could make a *suggestion*. Kindness is contagious!
Why are you even doing a video if you obviously knew you had a machine problem ? Is the video that important. I don’t understand
@lindadalton2668 there is still good info in it, and it shows that I'm human. It's okay.
I’m sorry. Your intentions are good but this is very sloppy sewing.
Thank you for your opinion, but the look of the finished product is all that matters. No one is going to see the seams when it's done. And I was struggling with my machine. In the end it turned out nice. Future videos will, hopefully, be better.
@@SoftSquares if one has never done this before, or one is new to quilting, I think it is very important. Good habits need to be established so one can be sure of success. Yes, it was very pretty in the end. But, some of the techniques used would be lost on a beginner. Sorry for your machine troubles. We’ve all had those.
@@carolejameson9261 I think you’re being harsh and actually rude. Why not a positive comment? Takes very little effort to be kind.
I understand your point about new quilters, however probably 99% of my learning came from watching videos from a variety of UA-camrs, and I learn something from each one. I’d guess that most people learning a new skill don’t watch just one channel. As another human that shares this planet with you I’d ask that you consider your words and criticism in the future. Maybe some gentle constructive advice would be heard better from ALL of us. Because your nasty, critical, judgmental comment is heard by more than just this UA-camr.
AND…some of the best and most popular quilters out there say “Finished is better than perfect!”
