TRICK OR TREAT: Jelly Roll Cutting Directions

So many of you are joining us… yeah! It is so fun to sew up a jelly roll, don’t you think?

So here is the info for cutting the blocks below. We will add some more instructions later on for borders. But for now, this is all you will need for your (16) 12″ blocks… they are a nice & large size so that your quilt grows quickly without being too massive at the same time.

FOR THE BLOCKS

FROM YOUR JELL ROLL:
From (8) Orange Strips: Cut (8) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles [a]
From (8) Black Strips: Cut (8) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles [b] ** See below.
From (8) Grey Strips: Cut (8) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles [c]
From leftover color strips: Cut (9) assorted 2 1/2″ squares for posts [h]
From (8) Cream print strips: Cut (24) 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ sashing strips [g]

** the AHE jelly roll doesn’t have 8 black strips, so you can add in an extra from your stash or just add in one strip from whatever black you are going to use for your binding. In our kit, we added enough black solid for the binding, so you could easily cut an extra 2 1/2″ strip from that if you like.**

FROM CREAM FLORAL CENTER:
Cut (2) 4 1/2″ strips.  Cut into (16) 4 1/2″ squares [f]

FROM IVORY BACKGROUND:
Cut (16) 2 1/2″ strips.  Cut into (256) 2 1/2″ squares [e]
Cut (8) 2 1/2″ strips.  Cut into (64) 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. [d]

A COUPLE OF NOTES

If you are working from a different jelly roll, divide your colors up following the numbers above, just change the colors. You will need (8) of each color. If your jelly roll doesn’t have that, add in from your stash!

This will make (16) 12″ blocks. If you want to make more or less blocks, you can always adjust the above cutting.

Stay tuned for more info tomorrow!
