Jelly Roll Race quilts are a quick and easy project for any sewist.  They make the perfect "first quilt" because they require minimal tools and use mostly precut fabric strips.  We can help you find the jelly roll bundle to fit your look and personality.  During this class we will create the finished quilt top and discuss your finishing options.  

This will be a great time, come join us! Giveaways throughout the class.

Please have a Jelly Roll, Rollie Pollie or design roll ready to go. 

What is a Jelly Roll Race?

A standard Jelly Roll Race produces a quilt top that is approximately 50″ x 64″. It uses one 40-strip Jelly Roll fabric collection, sewn into a single, super long strip. Once that strip is made, the race begins. Participants are timed as to how long it will take them to take the 1600 inch “mega strip” and turn it into a Jelly Roll quilt top.  You end up with a quilt top that is a series of offset strips that come together in a surprisingly fast and fun fashion. You can’t really tell what it will look like until it is all done, and you spread it out for the first time. It’s quilt magic!
