When learning how to do borders I discovered the jelly roll quilt. It was so fast that I decided to make one sometime during the sewing of Alex's t-shirt quilt. I started by buying 3 jelly rolls of 18 pieces each. I decided to make a queen size quilt this time. Each roll ended up only being 14" wide. That's right three rolls at 11.99 each was nit enough. I bought most of them at 50% off but nit all of them. Seven altogether so 84/2 =42 plus tax so I'm in it so far for about $55-60.
Still have last Jellyroll to sew then will decide on final layout and determine backing. I found the cotton batting at Hobby Lobby for around $20. I'll use a coupon probably a 50% off so it shouldn't cost as much. I'm trying to better track my time and costs on this one. I feel like it probably took an hour per each roll but I start and stop during the seeing process so nit really sure.
