Jelly Roll Quilt Patterns
I’m a big fan of pre-cut quilt fabric. For one, most of the cutting is already done for you and two, it also allows you to get a little bit of each fabric from a collection. This gives you great variety in prints and helps to ensure your fabrics will all coordinate.
Jelly Rolls (or pre-cut 2 1/2” strips) are a fantastic starting point for a lot of great quilt patterns. I’ve assembled EIGHT of my favorite jelly roll projects here to give you plenty of inspiration on creating with these fabric strips.
The Straight Trippin quilt is a simple and modern take on the traditional trip around the world quilt design that finishes at roughly 68” x 80”. You will need two jelly rolls but no additional fabric to make this quilt top!
The Jelly Roll Postage Stamp quilt pattern uses efficient strip piecing to get you started on this beauty. You will need 2 jelly rolls (1 low volume or light and 1 with brights or darks). My quilt finishes at 72” square, but you could also finish this at 60” x 84” instead.
The Jelly Roll 18 Patch quilt creates such a fun scrappy looking quilt. With one jelly roll, you can piece a 48” x 60” lap quilt, but the pattern includes many layout options/sizes if you want to use 2 jelly rolls.
For the Jelly Filled quilt, you will need to pair your jelly roll with some sashing/border fabric to create this quick and easy quilt. It finishes at 62” x 74” and is the perfect beach blanket size!
Hexaround is definitely a fan favorite around here! This hexagon quilt is much easier to piece than you would think. You will need a two jelly rolls or a total of 72 pre-cut strips to make this 60” x 64” quilt that honestly looks good in ANY fabric!
The Boxed In quilt pattern is made so much simpler by using pre-cut strips! Simple patchwork makes this a fantastic beginning quilter pattern that finishes at 70” square.
The Jelly Roll Rail Fence pattern uses the pre-cut strips to easily (and quickly) piece together a traditional rail fence quilt. With two size options available in the pattern (using either 1 or 2 jelly rolls), it’s a perfection option for the jelly rolls in your stash.
The Jelly Roll Log Cabin quilt is a perfect pattern to use if your jelly roll has a fairly even split of light and dark prints. Creating one large quilt block for your entire quilt makes this one come together very quickly.
I hope these patterns help inspire you to get those pretty jelly rolls off your shelves and turn them it into something beautiful and useful.
