My First Jelly Roll Quilt

Hello!
So, I ran out of yellow fabric for my Layer Cake Sampler and decided to work with the two jelly rolls I had purchased while I waited to go to the fabric store again to get my yellow.

I am not sure of the brand name of these rolls, the front of the tag says Batik Jelly, while the back says Batik Jelly Roll Coral Red. They were on sale, I grabbed them as I had been seeing quilts made with jelly rolls on Pinterest and knew I wanted to try!

I just did my own thing with these which I am sure is a common layout.
This pic is before I squared them to 6x6 inches

This is after squaring them all and sewing the strips together.

 Then that evening, after shopping for my yellow fabric and picking up a few more yards to start my stash..I sewed the strips together. This is what I have so far!  It is a lap/couch size...I am going to make it a little bigger with some borders. Still coming up with a plan for that!

I took this pic before the one above and could not get these "helpers" 
to help by staying off..they had to check it out!

Here are the two new fabrics I picked up

Thanks for stopping in to check out my progress! I'm learning!

    1. I haven't done enough to know for sure...but anything is better than cutting out 10 inch squares for the layer cake! lol I have seen they come pre-cut as well too though so that makes me a little happier for future use :)

  3. I'm poppin in from Connies. Your adorable helpers are doing a fine job with that cute quilt. I just purchased some red and pink fabrics with no real plan, I'll be adding this idea to the list.
