Jelly roll quilts are one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to turn fabric into a beautiful quilt. Because jelly rolls come as pre-cut 2½-inch strips, they make quilting faster, simpler, and easier for both beginners and experienced quilters.
Below you’ll find a collection of jelly roll quilt tutorials from our website. Each project includes step-by-step instructions to help you create stunning quilts using these versatile fabric strips.
Two for One Jelly Roll Quilt – Baby or Lap Quilt
This is a fast, beginner-friendly quilt that can easily be finished in a day. It’s the perfect size for a baby or lap quilt—and the best part is that it only uses 20 strips. That’s why I call it the Two-for-One Jelly Roll Quilt.
Jelly Roll Race Baby Quilt – Tutorial
In this tutorial, we are going to make a baby quilt using the jelly roll race quilt method. This is a fun way to make a quilt and involves sewing lots of strips of fabric together into one very, very, very long strip.
Jelly Roll Race Quilt Top Tutorial – Quilting for Beginners
Here is an easy Jelly Roll Quilt top that you will find quick and easy to do. It’s ideal for your first Jelly Roll quilt as we use straight seams to attach the strips to each other instead of the usual 45° angle.
The Scrappy Stash Jelly Roll Race Quilt Variation
What do you do with all those pretty left over pieces of fabric from your projects that you just can’t part with? I have made bags, runners, and all manner of other projects with my scrap stash, and finally, I decided to make a variation on the Jelly Roll Race quilt using my scraps.
Jelly roll quilts are such a fun way to turn pre-cut fabric strips into something truly beautiful. With so many different layouts and designs to try, they’re perfect for both quick projects and creative quilting days.
If one of these quilts catches your eye, be sure to bookmark or pin this page so you can easily find it again when you’re ready to start sewing.

I love your tutorials and am making my first ever quilt following your strip quilt ( the red one) but
I have no idea what batting to use . Please can you tell me what you used on yours. It will be used
as a lap quilt. We call it wadding here in England. I’d rather not spend a fortune as I’m so new to
Quilting and worried I may mess it up. I have put the strips together.
Really grateful for any advice you can give me.
Many thanks
Carol

We often use a brand called Warm and Natural. Sometimes we will use bamboo batting or a wool batting. We generally just buy what’s on special. If it’s your first quilt don’t worry too much about it. You won’t mess it up.
