I pair up two strips from the Jelly Roll and leaving them folded in half so I'm cutting through 4 layers, I cut - (2) 6.5 inch rectangles, (3) 2.5 inch squares. This gives me enough for 4 blocks two of each combination.
Lay out the blocks and sew.
Here's a quickie EQ6 drawing. Notice how the blocks are rotated - don't you like how there are no seams to match up?
I think Jeanne made a pink/black/white version of this sometime last year (I looked for it to link to but it must have been on her old blog) . Her blocks were 9 inches finished if I remember correctly. These are 6 inches (6.5 with seam allowances).

I love the design and that there are no seams to match! How clever.
What will the project be when it is finished?
Now I am ready to put my other projects aside and do some Christmas table runners for gifts.
I am so glad you posted this. I have two jelly rolls and I have been trying to think of some simple way to used them. This could be the ticket.
Good memory! Yes, that's all exactly right -- fast and no matching :)
Jeanne
Any time there are no seams to match, I am thrilled! This is the perfect design to showcase you jellyroll collection of fabrics!
I have a quilt cut out like this in all batics. I just need to get-er-dun!! My problem is that I need the tops quilted that I have.
I love your Neopolitan quilt. Very pretty!!

ah! cute, quick, easy! love it! Must go buy jelly roll.... :)
I love this pattern. I made one for my husband using batiks from a group swap (see my Feb 19 blog entry). It's so simple I've taught it to beginning quilters too. Great idea for using jelly rolls. I've got a couple around here somewhere. :-D Do you know how big your quilt will be?
I, too, love it. I have a bunch of jelly rolls ... another idea for next year. THANK YOU
I wish Deb was my sister too .... my sister doesn't quilt, shoot she doesn't even sew (no interest at all).
No seams to match.........this one has my name on it! How many jelly rolls does it take to make a full sized quilt? I have never bought one but maybe Santa will bring one. (some?) LOL
