Book Review – Jelly Roll Quilts

August 17, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

For quilters who love working with precuts, More Jelly Roll Quilts is exactly the kind of book that makes you want to pull a jelly roll straight from your stash and start sewing. Designed around the ever-popular 2½-inch precut fabric strips, this book provides a collection of quilt patterns that transform simple strips into striking quilt designs.

Jelly rolls have become one of the most popular quilting precuts for a reason—they eliminate hours of cutting while still giving quilters endless creative possibilities. This book builds on that concept by offering patterns that are specifically designed to maximize the potential of jelly roll fabrics.

What This Quilting Book Is About

More Jelly Roll Quilts focuses entirely on quilt designs that use precut strip bundles, making it a fantastic resource for quilters who enjoy fast, efficient piecing.

Inside the book you’ll find:

  • A collection of quilt patterns created specifically for jelly roll strips

  • Step-by-step piecing instructions

  • Layout diagrams that simplify block assembly

  • Quilts designed to work with coordinated fabric collections

Because the strips are already cut, many of the quilts come together quickly, making the projects ideal for weekend quilting sessions.

Quilt Styles You’ll Find in This Book

The designs in this book showcase the versatility of jelly roll fabrics. By simply changing the way strips are pieced, rotated, or combined, the quilts create very different visual effects.

Some of the design styles include:

  • Strip-pieced quilt blocks

  • Geometric patchwork layouts

  • Diagonal strip designs that create movement

  • Classic quilt blocks adapted for precut strips

  • Layered designs that showcase color variation across fabric collections

Many of the quilts are ideal for highlighting fabric collections with coordinated prints, allowing the colors and patterns to shine without complicated fabric planning.

Why Quilters Love Jelly Roll Quilt Books

Books like More Jelly Roll Quilts are popular because they simplify the quilting process while still delivering impressive results.

Using jelly rolls allows quilters to:

  • Skip the time-consuming cutting process

  • Work with perfectly coordinated fabric sets

  • Complete quilt tops faster

  • Reduce fabric waste

For busy quilters—or anyone looking for satisfying finishes without long preparation times—jelly roll projects are often the perfect solution.

Skill Level

The patterns in this book are generally suitable for confident beginners through intermediate quilters.

Most quilts rely on familiar techniques such as:

  • Strip piecing

  • Chain piecing

  • Basic block construction

  • Simple quilt layouts

Even if you’re still relatively new to quilting, many of the designs are approachable with a bit of patience and careful piecing.

What Makes This Book Useful for Your Quilt Library

One of the strengths of More Jelly Roll Quilts is its focus on efficient quilt construction. Instead of adapting traditional patterns to fit jelly rolls, the projects are designed specifically around precut strips.

That means:

  • Less measuring and trimming

  • Faster quilt assembly

  • Patterns that naturally highlight strip fabrics

For quilters who frequently buy jelly rolls (or who have a few waiting in their stash), this book provides multiple ideas for turning those fabric bundles into finished quilts.

Who This Book Is Perfect For

This quilting book is a great choice for:

  • Quilters who love working with precuts

  • Anyone with a growing jelly roll fabric stash

  • Beginner quilters looking for manageable quilt projects

  • Quilters who enjoy strip piecing techniques

  • Makers who want projects that move along quickly

It’s also ideal for weekend quilting sessions or quilting retreats, where projects that assemble quickly are especially appealing.

More Jelly Roll Quilts is a practical and inspiring addition to any quilting library, particularly for quilters who enjoy working with precut fabrics. The patterns make excellent use of jelly roll strips, transforming simple fabric bundles into quilts that feel polished and visually dynamic.

If you enjoy the efficiency of strip piecing and the convenience of precut fabrics, this book offers a collection of projects that will help you turn those rolls of fabric into beautiful finished quilts.

It’s the kind of book that makes opening a jelly roll feel like the start of a new quilting adventure.
