Jelly Roll Slice: Free Quilt Pattern with Fat Quarter Shop

Hi everyone! We have a special treat for you today on the Jolly Jabber! We've been jelly roll jammin' not once but twice these couple of years and today we're inviting you sew another fast and fun jelly roll quilt called Jelly Roll Slice. 

All you need to make not one but two quilts is one Moda Jelly Roll! Watch Kimberly's tutorial and download our FREE pattern to learn how you can make our Jelly Roll Slice Quilt. 

For Kimberly's quilt, she chose to use the Vintage Picnic collection by Bonnie & Camille. We love how this collection can create two contrasting colorways. If you love her version, we have quilt kits and backing sets available at the shop today!

Our quilty staff decided to make a couple of other versions of Jelly Roll Slice as well. This one is using the Bread 'N Butter collection by American Jane. 

We love this version in the Strawberry Fields Revisited collection by Fig Tree Quilts.

How to Bias Bind a Quilt with Fat Quarter Shop

Hey guys! It's Kimberly again with brand new tutorial for you! Bias binding is a technique that's been requested over and over, and it took me a while to find a method I liked. It's perfect for quilts with curves or any angles other than your run-of-the-mill square corners.

Today, I will be demonstrating this technique using the Fragmental Sunflower Fractal Panel by Angela Walters for Robert Kaufman. Watch my video tutorial to see how you can tackle bias binding. 

If you love the Honeycomb table runner in the video, we have kits available at our shop. 

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have any tips on how to do bias binding? Share them in the comments section of the blog. We would love to know!
