I contacted "Sew Dublin" in Rathmines to see if they had Jelly Rolls for sale. They said they did so I called in to them on Friday on my day off.
They had a few Jelly Rolls and it was hard to make a choice of which one to get. I looked at a little board that showed every fabric in this roll. Even still I found it hard to visualise what way the quilt would turn out.
Here is the Jelly Roll opened up.
All you have to do is sew the strips together (on the bias) to make one long strip. After this you bring the ends together and sew the strip together. Cut the strip when you get to the end and repeat the above steps.
You eventually end up with this! Which took me about 3 hours to complete. All I need to do is put a border and backing on the quilt front along with wadding/batting and then bind it. It's the biggest quilt I've made so far!
Sew Dublin in Rathmines is worth calling in to if you are looking for fabric and supplies. They have good stock and lots to choose from.
