The monthly First Wednesday Sewing Group had a lesson about making a jelly roll rug given by Terri Lassen. Of course I waited until the last minute to get my supplies but Overbrook Quilt Connection had everything I needed. My jelly roll is a batik with creams, brown, and blacks. I used black thread throughout and it is hard to see that in the photo. All of the strips were stitched together before the class. After what seemed like never-ending hours of folding and sewing the jelly roll and batting, I was ready to make the rug itself. I loved sewing the rug shape. It came out very flat with no touching of the iron. I am very pleased with it. If I could just start with the third step, I would make a couple more rugs!
