Jelly Roll Jam Quilts

Fat Quarter Shop came up with this cute and quick free pattern called Jelly Roll Jam. You get 2, TWO, baby quilts from just ONE Jelly Roll.

I chose to use the fabric collection, Flats by Angela Yosten for Moda Fabrics.  For the quilt shown I used the green, blue and grey colorways in the group.

The quilts measure approx. 36 1/2" x 36 1/2" and are perfect size for a sleeping baby.

The great thing about these baby quilts is that they are small enough that you can easily do your own quilting with your sewing machine and walking foot.  I chose to mimic the rectangle shapes by simple stitching straight lines across the quilt at an angle.

The pattern is super easy to follow.  The girls over at Fat Quarter Shop even put together a You Tube video that you can follow along with when making your own baby quilts.


See how many you can get done while your baby is sleeping... shhhh... lights out!
