Hitomi Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Our local quilt shop had a Jelly Roll 1600 challenge last night. We had 11 people. I won with a time of 30 minutes. I think I beat the internet time too. On the internet the fastest time was 35 minutes, I did it in 30 minutes, LOL! Here's what we did for those who don't know what the Jelly Roll Challenge is. Check out this video. It makes a nice quilt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.waits Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great Job, Speedee! Love the quilts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 WOW, that is speedy. Did the thirty minutes include the initial sewing of the forty s trips with the diagonal seams? I made one too but it took me much longer, probably three hours. I guess that I am just slow! I look forward to seeing the quilt when you have quilted it. It is a pretty quilt.

yankiequilter Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Great job, Hitomi! The first thing that came to mind when I watched the video is that this would be a great retreat warm-up exercise. And at the end there would be 'X' number of community/donation quilts. I'm going to suggest it to my quilty friends. We have two retreats each year, it would be a lot of fun and at the end there would be 26 quilts for the guild to donate to the community. I'm always looking for more ways to increase the number of community quilts we have since I'm the community quilts chair. :P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busy Quilting Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I timed myself doing mine from start to finish. Cutting strips to stitching the binding on the front, heavily E2E quilted in under 10 hours. They are fun to do. Our local shops plans on having a challenge too. Might suggest it for our retreat weekend too. Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 OK I have a question. How many strips are supposed to be in a jelly roll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmoore Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Originally posted by hmerrill OK I have a question. How many strips are supposed to be in a jelly roll? It usually depends on how many fabrics are in the line, but usually somewhere between 36 and 45. The Hometown one I have is 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
