If you haven't heard, we are holding a Jolly Roll Race this Sunday starting at 12:00 PM Eastern.
It is going to be TONS of fun and you have a chance at winning some great prizes :)
Make sure to read all the details.
I made some slight changes including extending the hours to 24 hours. This quilt top will only take you a few hours at most to complete though. The fastest time was completed in 35 minutes.
This is a fun, simple, and quick quilt you will love making!
BUT
You have to get ready for the race and the last day of practice at Indy is known as Carb Day soooooo
Here is what you need to do in order to be ready for race time!
1. Clean your car (aka sewing machine)
2. Change your oil (just a drop or two)
3. Give your car new tires (aka a new needle)
4. Open up your jelly roll and mix it all up. Don't have a jelly roll? Go hit that stash of yours and cut up 40 strips. We want them to be 2 1/2 inches by 40 inches each. Create Your Own Jelly Roll Tutorial
5. Sew your strips end to end to end to end to end :) Just like you do to make bindings. You are going to create one very looooooooooooooong strip. A 1600 inch strip to be exact!
Sew these strips together straight across to save time or make this quilt really stand out by sewing them together diagonal. Again... just like sewing your binding strips.
Then come back to our blog at 12:00 PM Eastern on Sunday for all the final details of the race.
Make sure you spread the word about the event and enter into our pre-race giveaway too!!
Good luck everyone!!
P.S.

I am going to pass the information on my Facebook page, and I hope to get more people to join your Jelly Roll Race. AWESOME!!
i have my college daughter and I both with jello rolls ready to go. I am haveing her sign up as a follower of the blog and Fliker - Thanks!
An odd question i know but would this work with less than a 40 jelly roll?
I have a jelly roll of 33, I'm presuming other than being a bit small in dimensions it would still work ok?
I follow your blog! Amber (sewsomuch)
