Summer Love Tutorial

Materials (57″ x 50.5″ quilt top):

• 1 jelly roll (you will have plenty of leftover strips!)
• 1 solid white jelly roll
• 3 yards backing

Step 1 – Trim the strips from both the colored and solid white jelly roll to the exact measurements represented in the cutting diagram below. (Note: the measurements below are the exact cutting measurements of the unfinished pieces). Since a jelly roll strip is 2.5″x44″ long, in some cases you will need to sew a couple strips together and then trim it to get the measurements shown below.

Step 2 – Using a 1/4″ seam allowance, sew all the pieces in each row together, and then sew all rows together.

Step 3 – Add the borders. Sew enough strips together until you have these measurements:

1. Left and right borders – 46.5″ long. Sew these on first.
2. Top and bottom borders – 57″ long.

Baste and quilt. Sew together six leftover strips to create the binding. A binding tutorial can be found here.

That’s it! Simple and absolutely beautiful! Thank you for checking out my tutorial!

Happy Quilting!
