I dont know how I've missed this video as I've been looking for jelly roll race quilts and variations for about a year now lol. I'd love to try this with regular seams and not diagonal. Love your fabrics...thank you for sharing!
Thank you Tracy. We do have a video on making the jelly roll quilt with straight seams. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/2015/08/21/jelly-roll-quilt-top-tutorial-quilting-for-beginners/
I’ve watched many videos tutorials but this is my favorite. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve got plenty of strip scraps and I’m gonna be making this quilt.
I just love the variety of colours and their different shades it's amazing how like fabrics still manage to be next to each other at times. Many thanks for a great explanation, Jess
Thanks Jess. Its almost as if the strips purposely gravitate towards one another. :) I have found that even using full jelly roll strips can give the same result. I have to say I love this way of using up scraps.
Excellent Vera, I'm glad you like it. It certainly helped me to use up a lot of scraps. I always seem to have so many of them. Perhaps you would like to share a photo of your quilt on the website. I would love to see it. Here is a link if you are interested www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
That's a great idea Sharon 😊. She will love it. These quilts look lovely when they are finished. And it's a great way to use up scraps. We also have a version using Jelly Roll strips - her is a link to that tutorial ua-cam.com/video/8DcT23_zShk/v-deo.html
I bought my kids a movie called rogue stallion when they were young and you really look a lot like the mom in the movie. Thanks for the informative video.
Alanna,thank you, thank you, I pieced one top mostly blue and tan. Looks nice now to pick boarders as I like them to be twin sized. I have enough strips for at least four or five more easily with more scrapy. Where are you from. It is nice to use up fabric stash especially already cut stash
That's excellent Evelyn. We would love to see the finished quilts. If you would like to share some photos on our Readers Project page, here is the link www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/. We are from Australia. Happy scrap busting. :)
Interesting. Have you ever made a jellyroll quilt made from a layer cake or fat quarter strips? Also, have you made one by changing the diagonal on each strip when joining (sew left to right to join a strip then right to left to join next strip, and so on)? I'm so curious as to how they would turn out but I'm a new quilter and don't have the stash yet so thought I'd ask an experienced quilter. Thank you in advance for any advice. I have not seen any tutorials on any of my suggestions.
No Tracy, I haven't tried any of that, sounds like it could be a fun experiment. If you are thinking of sewing layer cakes together you would need a lot of them. You need a long length of fabric for your first strip and this is why the jelly rolls work so well.
Alanda Craft yes that's true, was just thinking it would look scrappier with shorter strips. I'm pretty new to quilting so I'm just full of questions and ideas....I need to find some cheap fabrics to cut down to experiment! Thank you for replying.☺💕
@@tracyruth4247 I have a recommendation, as a new sewer! It's an easy variation of the Jelly Roll Race quilt. After making your basic jelly roll race top, just cut it into bias strips the width of your original strips, then do another Jelly roll Race with those strips. What you get is an incredibly complex looking scrappy quilt full of scintillating angles and dancing colors. Yet somehow it still has a rhythmic, harmonious look. I love them! I recommend this, because you sound like me, and I like easy quilts but I don't love large pieces showing. Smaller, scrappier looking quilts make me happier. I hope this may be helpful! P.S. If you know how to make Continuous Bias Binding (often used to make binding for quilts) then I highly recommend using that method instead of cutting individual bias strips. P.P.S. As a new sewer I also recommend you can try this method in miniature form rather easily, just to be sure you like it. Simply cut one 2"x21" strip out of five or ten different fat quarters, then practice the method. You will end up with something the size of a pillow or a wall hanging, and you'll get to test the method out without risking any big investment of time or money, and you'll get a nice scrappy piece to enjoy afterwards.
@@Marialla. thank you for the suggestion! I'd love to see photos of this technique, I'll see if I can find any online. Otherwise I will do a small one to try it out. Thanks again!
@@tracyruth4247 I have never seen an example of this quilt online. I thought up the idea myself, though I grant someone else may have also thought it up independently. If you publish a picture of yours it may be the first online!
Take a look at the link below. It might provide more clarification for you. www.alandacraft.com/2017/08/19/the-scrappy-stash-jelly-roll-race-quilt-variation/
We only use one jelly roll for a queen sized quilt. Then you build it up to the finished size you want with borders. You can see an example on the website www.alandacraft.com/jelly-roll-quilt-top-tutorial-quilting-for-beginners/
How do you pick your colors just as they come out of the bin or light and than dark or does is matter. I am making charity quilts but want nice as they can be.
It's just a judgement call as I am sewing. I just make sure not to put 2 fabrics or two colours that are the same together but other than thatI don't fuss too much about it. There will always be times when two matching fabrics will end up one row under another, but that is just the nature of these type of quilts. But really it doesn't matter as the end result will look awesome regardless. Just relax Evelyn and have fun with it. Your charity members will just love them.
It is approx 50" x 60". Here is a link to the website where you will find the written instructions www.alandacraft.com/the-scrappy-stash-jelly-roll-race-quilt-variation/
EXACTLY what I needed!! I have a tub full of scraps and wanted to make a quilt with them. Thank you for a clear, easy to understand tutorial.
Excellent Jacquylyne. I love how these scrappy quilts turn out

Thanks for the video! I'm not a fan of the traditional jelly roll race but since this is more scrappy and has varying lengths, I would make this one!
I agree Stephanie. I think the scrappy effect makes for an interesting quilt, and its a great way to use up those scraps that accumulate.
Love your tutorials! I could listen to your accent all day! Thanks for your hard work to present these to us.
Thank you for your lovely comment Cindy. :)
Your explanation of sewing the strips together diagonally was very helpful. I have sewn so many incorrectly.
I just love the variety of colours and their different shades it's amazing how like fabrics still manage to be next to each other at times. Many thanks for a great explanation, Jess

Very nice and beautiful
Thank you for sharing 👍
You are most welcome Izabela. :)
Love it!
Good one. I'm like the variation
Thanks Cynthia. It looks lovely when it's finished and its a great way to use up scrappy strips of fabric.
thank you

Very beautiful.
But i am not getting that how your getting the closed joint every time you stitch
Plz let me know
Take a look at the link below. It might provide more clarification for you.
www.alandacraft.com/2017/08/19/the-scrappy-stash-jelly-roll-race-quilt-variation/
Just curious how you press the seams--all one direction rather than open?
Generally we press the seams in one directions.
How long does the jelly roll need to be for a queen size quilt? I believe I could do this kind. Thank you!
We only use one jelly roll for a queen sized quilt. Then you build it up to the finished size you want with borders. You can see an example on the website www.alandacraft.com/jelly-roll-quilt-top-tutorial-quilting-for-beginners/
Thanks for great video, and giving me permission to do this with my odd sized 2 1/5 strips, when picking colore
How do you pick your colors just as they come out of the bin or light and than dark or does is matter. I am making charity quilts but want nice as they can be.
It's just a judgement call as I am sewing. I just make sure not to put 2 fabrics or two colours that are the same together but other than thatI don't fuss too much about it.

But really it doesn't matter as the end result will look awesome regardless. Just relax Evelyn and have fun with it. Your charity members will just love them.
It's certainly an easy way to use up those strips. And they look great when they are finished.
I don't suppose you would know how many inches of 2 1/2 " I would need to make a quilt about 80 x 90-100??? Does anyone know??
what size is the completed quilt top?
It is approx 50" x 60". Here is a link to the website where you will find the written instructions www.alandacraft.com/the-scrappy-stash-jelly-roll-race-quilt-variation/
I have some jelly roll pieces….
