The All Jelly Rolls collection at Linda’s Electric Quilters features a delightful selection of jelly rolls from leading fabric designers — those iconic bundles of 2.5-inch strips that quilt up beautifully into strip quilts, log cabins, rail fence designs, and countless other patterns. Each jelly roll typically contains 40 strips in a coordinated fabric collection, giving you all the prints you need in the most versatile pre-cut format available.
What is a jelly roll?
A jelly roll is a bundle of 40 pre-cut fabric strips, each measuring 2.5 inches wide by the width of the fabric (approximately 44 inches long). The strips are typically wound together and tied with a ribbon, containing one strip from each print in a fabric collection.
What quilt patterns work best with jelly rolls?
Jelly rolls are ideal for strip quilts, rail fence quilts, log cabin blocks, bargello designs, and many simple-to-sew patterns that call for 2.5-inch strips. They also work beautifully for quilt binding and braided borders.
How many jelly rolls do I need for a full-size quilt?
One jelly roll is typically enough fabric for a lap-size strip quilt. For larger bed quilts, plan on using 2 jelly rolls or supplementing with additional coordinating yardage. Always check your specific pattern’s requirements.
Can I use jelly roll strips for binding?
Yes — leftover jelly roll strips are perfect for quilt binding. At 2.5 inches wide, they are exactly the right width for double-fold binding without any additional trimming.
