Unlike the original version, with the ends of the strips sewn together in a diagonal, each strip is connected with the 2 1/2″ squares. This small detail definitely made the quilt more fun! Imagine using bright colors for the strips and light colors for the small squares. I am sure it will turn out gorgeous.

How to Make the Jelly Roll Race 2 Quilt
Step 1:
Unwrap the jelly roll. Do not unfold them and keep them in a stack. Remove the selvages with scissors.
Step 2:
Get the first jelly roll on top. Cut into an 18-inch strip.
Step 3:
Place your stack of jelly rolls and white squares beside your sewing machine.
Step 4:
Lay a 2 1/2″ square on top of the end of the first jelly roll. Sew on the edge.
Step 5:
Open it up and place the next strip from your stack on top, right sides together. Sew them together.
Step 6:
Get the end of your strip and one square. Place them right sides together and sew. Repeat with the remaining strips and squares.
Step 7:
Find the two ends, and place them right sides together. Sew them on one side, right sides together, with a 1/4″ seam allowance until you reach the end. Repeat the process until you have sewn 16 together.
Step 8:
Press it open. Add the inner border and outer border.
