It is National Jelly Roll Day. Chooky was having a zoom morning. This time I was up early enough to join in.
I decided to try a new to me technique and project. This required cutting a lot of 2 1/4” wadding strips. I dragged out all my offcuts and cut away.
Then I pulled out my smaller pieces of blue fabrics and I made my own jelly roll by cutting them into 2.5” strips.
Then sewed them all together end to end as they were all sizes and I need 45 strips that measure width of fabric.
A few years back I bought a pattern to make a teddy floor rug using a jelly roll, wadding and a sasher tool.
After watching a few YouTube tutorials by Pauline’s Quilters World to see how to use the sasher tool I gave it a go. It actually worked as it was supposed to. Not too hard.
Zoom finished, I had lunch then I joined a new group on Discord. Aussie Chipettes. I have recently joined them doing some fabric and block swaps. This was the first time meeting some members. While we were chatting I ended up with 10 strips completed.
This is what I aim to complete.
A few more to make before I can start to join them into a rug. Then the fun will begin cutting to shape.

That is so cute, Jo! Some little person will love it!
I’m sorry I missed you this morning. That is a fun way to use jelly rolls or equivalent. I have one of those tools, but don’t think I will worry about trying to make a rug. I can’t wait to see how yours turns out. Who will it be move?
Was lovely to catch up and to see your new project take off.
