This awesome project by SewVeryEasy on YouTube is so fun and easy to make, especially for beginners who are looking for a simple quilt to start working with! You only need one jelly roll and a couple of fabric scraps for this quilt and you can put them together in just a few minutes with these easy-to-follow steps. Read the written instructions down below and watch the video tutorial as well.
Materials:
- 1 jelly roll
- 20 black fabric strips
- 20 white fabric strips
- 1 yard of bright fabric
- Ruler
- Marking pen or pencil
- Needle and thread
- Scissors or rotary cutter and a cutting mat
- Iron, for pressing
- Sewing machine
Directions:
Step 1
Cut the fabric pieces as required by the project, then place the zinger on top of the black strip with their right sides facing together as shown in the video, and sew them together diagonally from corner to corner. Stick in the next piece of your fabric, then stitch it right down, and trim off the excess fabric a few inches away from the stitching line along with the little corner sticking out.

Step 2
Finger press the fabric open, then sew the white strip on top of the zinger with their right sides facing together and trim off the excess fabric. Finger press the fabric open, then continue building your strips until you’ve used up all of your fabric pieces and cut the strips accordingly. Put the strips together into a large single block, then add the border, and add the batting, backing, and quilt if you want.
