Jelly Roll Baskets & Bags

A selection of eleven bags, baskets and fabric bowls using 2 1/2" wide strips of fabric. Most are aimed at beginners or confident beginners. Many require lining fabric, interfacing or other specialised stabilisers. Some for carrying food, such as the Nantucket Casserole Carrier, use heat-reflective fleece.

There are full-sized patterns to trace for the bags and basket bottoms and there is also a Quilting Basics page at the end of the book.

Several of the projects use similar techniques which is described well with diagrams, which are perhaps a little small. Hints and tips are provided as you go and the photography is good to help with construction. Some of the bags are easily seen in these images. These would make lovely gift bags for presents or excellent gifts in their own right. They would also be perfect for craft fairs or as charity makes. An interesting way to use up your fabric strips. The British Patchwork & Quilting Book of the Month.
