The Best of Jelly Roll Quilts: 25 jelly roll patterns for quick quilting

by Pam Lintott, Nicky Lintott

Overview

A collection of the very best of Pam and Nicky Lintott's jelly roll quilt designs from their previous books.

Quilt experts and best-selling authors, Pam and Nicky Lintott have chosen their favourite designs from their back catalogue of jelly roll books to create this exciting, bumper collection of 25 quick and easy jelly roll quilt patterns. The Lintotts have been designing jelly roll quilt patterns since these popular pre-cut fabric bundles were launched back in 2007 and the quilts in this collection are their very favourites chosen from their previous 13 quilt books.

Jelly rolls are the ultimate pre-cut fabric bundle helping you to fast track your patchwork and quilting projects. These rolls of 21/2in wide strips of fabric all from one fabric line are the perfect tool to make sure your colours and prints coordinate. All of the patterns in this collection only require one jelly roll - sometimes with some additional yardage for the background and borders- making them perfect for those jelly rolls sitting on your shelves that are waiting to be used. And, if you don't have a jelly roll, you can follow the patterns by cutting your own 21/2in strips from your stash to get started.

There are a wide range of jelly roll patterns to choose from including classic quilt designs like nine patch, log cabin and bargello, through to more contemporary quilt designs featuring chains and octagons. Pam and Nicky decided they wanted a variety of designs suitable for different skill levels so that the book would be for everyone no matter what your style is and how much experience you have in patchwork and quilting.

Pam and Nicky are renowned for their easy-to-follow quilt patterns that always give great results and work up quickly, and this collection features the authors' favourites from all their books so you can enjoy them in one complete volume.

The Lintotts, a mother-daughter duo who are quilt experts and authors of Quilts from Quarters, showcase 25 of their best and favorite jelly-roll quilt designs from previous books. Most of their patterns are for lap quilts, and they use one jelly roll (40 two-and-a-half-inch strips) and a background fabric. Some are large enough to fit a twin-sized bed. There's an adorable teddy bear baby quilt that uses only half of a jelly roll. Other highlights include the High Seas at Hastings design, which is made from a jelly roll and a border, whereas the Neapolitan utilizes two jelly rolls. For most quilts, two or three strips are sewn together before they're cut into additional squares, triangles, or hexagons. This book's instructions are easy to follow. They start with the sorting of strips into color families or hues and continue step-by-step all the way through the binding process. Cutting and assembly steps are accompanied by clear illustrations, and the finished quilts are beautifully photographed. These patterns could be easily accomplished by a beginner. VERDICT As jelly rolls continue to be popular, this book would be a great choice for any quilting collection.—Debbie Bogenschutz
