One of the first quilts I made was from a jelly roll race that I saw on YouTube. I loved the idea of just sewing and sewing and thought it would be a good test to see how I liked quilting. It had me hooked! Love Jelly Rolls and the projects they make. Here is a listing of free jelly roll quilt patterns that you will love making.
Make a Jelly Roll Race Quilt – Free Tutorial
Simple instructions and videos to show you what the jelly roll race is all about. Also known as the 1600 Quilt.
Sugar Almonds Quilt Pattern
Fun jelly roll quilt that fits a twin size bed. Super simple to put together and it looks cute when it is done. You can try varieties by using different solids and of course the jelly roll types – like batiks! The best part of this quilt project: It uses scissors too!
Batik Braid Jelly Roll Quilt Pattern
Look so much more complicated than it is. This is a super look for a jelly roll and you really save time with all those strips already cut. From the designer, “This tutorial is just a “how I did it” and “this is how it turned out” kind of tutorial. The one jelly roll makes a nice lap sized quilt, roughly 50″ square.”
Rolling Rail Fence Quilt
Simple instructions for this fun quilt are in pdf form that can be downloaded. I love the real quilted look, somewhat vintage pattern that would work well with vintage fabrics.
Ins and Outs: An New FREE Quilt Pattern
Love how the colors work with this pattern. From the designer: “When we made ours we used one jelly roll then pulled from our scrap bucket to provide the rest of the fabric. The jelly roll that we started with was Blooming Fresh from Moda. It was bright and fun, perfect for the look we were going for. You can see why we named the quilt Ins and Outs. The colored pieces go in and out.” I love the simplicity of the look… sew together, cut, shift, and sew again.
