Use Jelly Roll Strips for a Striking Quilt

Play with Color to Make It Yours!
Turn a favorite combination of 2 1/2″ jelly roll strips into a colorful lap quilt. This is a great project for a jelly roll you love, or use leftover strips from your stash for a charming scrappy look.
Choose a neutral color, in this case off-white, to set off the colorful strips. Black, gray, and even solid colors can work nicely, too, as long as they create good contrast and let the strip colors pop.
The completed quilt designed by Roxanne Carter is lap-sized.
