A quilting beginner? Try this quilting tutorial from Melanie Ham on Youtube! This quilt is a fantastic project you can do if you like to quilt a top. It’s super easy, and you can even finish this in just one sitting. And of course, all you need is your favorite jelly roll. Watch the video tutorial below to learn the step-by-step instructions.

Materials:

  • a jelly roll
  • sewing machine
  • coordinating thread
  • rotary cutter
  • mat
  • ruler
  • iron, for pressing

Directions:

Step 1

To start, unroll your jelly roll and arrange them according to your liking. Once you’re satisfied, place the right sides together and sew two pieces together on the long edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. When you get to the end, do the next seam in the opposite direction of the previous strip. Continue adding new strips until you complete the rows.

Step 2

After you have sewn all the rows down, take them to your ironing board and press the seams open, then press the entire thing really well. Fold it in quarters and trim the sides.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
