The Tutorial: Creating a Jelly Roll Strip Quilt
Step 1: Unrolling the Jelly Roll

Take two strips, place them right sides together, and sew along one of the long edges using a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Open up the sewn strips and press the seam with an iron to create a crisp, flat join. Repeat this process, adding one strip at a time until all of your strips are joined together.
Step 3: Creating the Quilt Top
Now, you’ll need to decide how wide you want your quilt to be. Measure that width on your strip set and cut. Continue this process until you have enough panels to reach your desired quilt length.
Step 4: Joining the Panels
Place two panels right sides together and pin along one edge, then sew with a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Repeat with the rest of the panels until your quilt top is complete.
Step 5: Adding Batting and Backing
Finally, layer your quilt top with batting and backing fabric, then sew around the edges. Quilt as desired, bind the edges, and voila! You’ve just made a jelly roll strip quilt.
