For those of you folks already planning your jelly roll strip quilt, I wanted to share this week’s Missouri Star tutorial. It looks like a really fun way to use up strips AND orphan blocks in the same quilt!
Do you already have an idea what you will be doing with YOUR strips? How about we share here to inspire each other… what do you say?!

I just saw this, too. Looks like a whole like of fun to make.

I am definitely going to try to keep this in mind for the next batch of orphan blocks that come my way.

I am working on a design, but of course I want to see the fabrics first. I really like this one. It looks fun.

This is definitely one I’m going to keep in my arsenal, so to speak.

Missouri Star’s big emphasis has always been using pre-cuts (which they’ll gladly sell to you of course!), and they have a ton of great videos. This one looks particularly useful. Thanks for sharing it!

I love that this one is intended for orphan blocks… I will definitely be using it at some point.

As soon as I saw this design I knew I would be making at least one. I like that it’s adjustable depending on your orphan block sizes and you can use more than one size block.

Exactly why I loved this one so much. It will be great for using up random blocks donated to Project Linus

I have my quilt top done. Yes and I’m quilting it now. I’m on vacation this week. My mother in law is having surgery so I’ll try to find a time when I’m not at the hospital to make my TTMT.

Thanks for sharing. I have been brain storming about this.

I wanted it to be easy for me and anyone else who wanted to find. Definitely a good idea for using up orphan blocks for charity but tying them all together

I love this quilt; saw it right after it was posted. I am looking at a few patterns now and may end up combining a couple of them. Or maybe not.

Me too, great use for strips AND for orphan blocks for charity

I’m not doing the swap this year, but it’s going to be fun to see what everyone makes. I might finish up a jelly roll quilt I have in progress just in solidarity haha but we will see 😀 Mine is just a jelly roll race (made larger by using two jelly rolls), so nothing terribly exciting. I do like the idea of this one though, it’s a sweet way to use up some orphan blocks and you could cut your own jelly roll strips so that you could bring together orphan blocks that work together but don’t necessarily have the same colour scheme.

I gotta say I have only seen a few of the jelly roll race quilts that I liked. But I’m guessing yours will look good, I always like what you do.

Haha.. I don’t disagree about the jelly roll race quilts! They can be a little…. boring. Mine is all solids in a sunrise and sunset colour palette, so lots of oranges and yellows and… well. We will see how it turns out (if I ever get back to it ahem).
