Thank you so much. I’m 83 and not a sharp mindlike yours. Breaking it down like this for us is awesome. I truly appreciate what you done taking the time to breaking it down…wow. Your amazing teacher, I taught quilting for 20 years outside of Chicago.m Again thank you so much.🥰

I have been watching a ton of the Jelly Roll Race tutorials for months now. I bought what I thought was enough material to make a whole queen. Now I know that I have enough material, and exactly how I am going to make it (JR Drag Race ala Jordan Fabrics), thanks to this video. I can even customize it, and still have enough. While the tutorials show you how to sew a JRR, none of them show the math. You did a wonderful job showing and describing every aspect of the formula, and how to put it all together. I cannot tell you how grateful I am.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Math is NOT my forte. I also appreciate you writing it as well as telling us everything because I am a very visual learner. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to do this video.

Even going rogue requires a plan! Love it! Thank you for the magic formula.

Thank you on giving this formula for custom jelly roll strips. Because I'm getting ready to make a jelly roll strip quilt. and was trying to figure out, how many strips to cut at 4-1/2". so now I have a mathematical formula that I can figure out. I just need to go back and watch it. before cutting my strips thank you so much.

Girl ...here i, was surfing looking for another idea on how to get my craft room under control. We recently moved into my childhood home and so we've inherited all my family furniture too. In definitely overwhelmed..but learning to part slowly with things I can't use. So
I was watching your YouTube on your storage bins and room make over because I have a lg or decent size craft room..which is a disaster right now....and I really appreciated your honesty in the clutter, it's real life. Well then this video pops up..I'm kinda interested so I kept watching....I've always wanted to quilt but never had any info on how it works. I'm an accountant w/ a degree and I totally followed your math less, Quilt Style! IM HOOKED, a new subscriber and possibly a new quilter.You give such great advice and encouragement!
Ps:
I HAVE A TON OF CRAFTS AND FABRICS!! I could be my own craft and fabric store lmao!! Thank you for all your advice and help!!😘😘😘

I appreciate you sharing the basics. I've been quilting for 45+ years. I still struggle with the math. So thank you for taking time to walk us through the calculations.

I combined a jelly roll race and a parquet pattern together. I just finished a queen sized quilt and a matching lap quilt. 1/3 yard from 28 different fabrics. 5 strips each fabrics or 140 strips. Average length of each strips around 43”. I sewn each strip end to end into one long approx 6080” strip. Sew the beginning and end together to form a two wide strip, cut once you get to the middle. Now you’ll have two strip wide by approx 3040”. Again sew this double strip into a four wide strip and you’ll have a approx 1520” wide band strip. Again cut when you get to the middle. Cut this four strip band into equal 8” blocks thus making the parquet pattern. I now have 188 parquet blocks. Arrange the blocks into a queen or king sized quilt top. I’ve made 15 queen sized of various color themes in the past two years. I’ve watched videos like hers here but I don’t want that seam right int the middle of the quilt top. My formula can be done smaller or bigger depending if you want shams to match or some throw pillows to match also.

Isn’t this how to figure out border and/or binding yardage? You made it very understandable. Love how you broke it down by size and width of strips. Thank you! Love your channel.

Since I am using a jelly roll, which I did Not know when I bought it, only had 20 strips in it. I added strips from scraps I had, and cut from fat quarters that I added to this collection. Since I had to add so many, I think I'll just be consistent, and cut the original jelly roll strips in half to more match the others. I will be adding white squares between them. It's a Christmas theme, and it will probably look a bit busier than I originally hoped, but, I just want to make it easier on myself, and get it done. I've been sitting on this project for awhile. I don't know how it will be quilted yet, maybe big stitched with crochet cotton, maybe gentle curvy lines on the machine.

I have been looking for this formula for a long time. The math isn't hard once you have a plan. Thank you so much for posting this. I already finished my first race quilt top.

[rachellelong]

WOWSA! Christan, you are the bomb, gurl! Rae here- (3/27/22) I was JUST trying to figure the math for this VERY quilt in a Full Sized Bed! TYTYTY, hugs and lovies

[pamsauce]

I think it might be messier but I would like to sew all of the jelly roll straps together that I need to make the quilt. Then I would have several rows that are super long. My way of thinking is that I wouldn't have 2 or 3 or 4 different sections. Just another way to eliminate the different sections. Love the ideas and math, I do math in my head!

[wannadonna]

Thank You!! I’m a new quilter!😅 You are the best!!❤

[loririlling]

Thank for this. This will help me so much! I am so new to this. I have sewn for years but no quilts. I crochet blankets and now I want to quilt to save time. You are amazing!

[coreygilles]

Math for me is HARD…but, I agree completely with you that a bit of extra time spent ahead of time on the math makes for an easier time while quilting. Hard but worth it. Also, it didn’t occur to me to make my own strips in a wider width to make a custom jelly roll quilt…o might have to try that

[lindamorrison]

Love your explainations...and the math. I sure dint like the math. I am watching your 2021 explanations for the jelly roll quilts, and I can't go back to sign up for your beginning classes on this.
In the past, I bought about five or six different jelly rolls, and I have never quite understood how to put them together even to make the simplest quilt. So thank you very much.

[userfriendlycanetip]

Well, there's a big DUH!!! I never considered cutting the strips in half instead of separating the long ones and dividing the roll. YIKES... Thx again for your help in clearing up my thinking.

[BlueMelissa]

I literally went t my quilt store yesterday WTH this exact question and SHE DID NOT know!! Lol. Thank you
