In Video #2:
- Pick up the end of the first strip and the beginning of the 2nd strip, place them right sides together and sew a 1/4 seam down the right side.
- When you reach the end … lift foot on sewing machine and pull back just a tad, giving you room to sew the next one.
- Pick up the end of the 2nd strip and the beginning of the 3rd strip, place right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side (left foot and pull the strips back giving you room to sew the next one).
- Pick up the end of the 3rd strip and the beginning of the 4th strip, place right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side (left foot and pull the strips back giving you room to sew the next one).
- Repeat this to the very end.
- When you reach the end you will need to snip the threads where you sewed then together.
- Find both ends of your long strip (1600″).
- Take the beginning of the first strip and the end of the last strip, place them right sides together and sew 1/4 seam down the right side.
- Stop often and make sure your fabric is straight.
- This step will take a while.

Hi Angie,
I see the video yet, but I was reading your instructions and do you need to cut off 18 inches on your first strip? I thought this was done on a previous jelly roll.
Angie says
Lesa, Yes and that’s done in video one in this series. I tried to make this series easier than the first Jelly Roll Quilt video.
Lesa M. says
Sorry, I didn’t see the first, my mistake.
Chris says
I am new to quilting, if I wanted to make the quilt a little larger, can I just use a second jelly?
Angie says
Hi Chris, adding a 2nd jelly roll will only make the quilt longer (not wider). I’ve not see clear instructions anywhere on how to make it longer and wider. If I ever figure it out I will post a video!! Thanks!
