First border for the jelly roll quilt. Jelly roll first quilt border. But for this jelly roll quilt I wanted to make a order so I added a 2.1/2â³ strip of light coloured fabric 50.1/2â³ long to the top and bottom of the quilt. Sew two strips 70.1/2â³ long to the sides. Do measure your own quilt before cutting the border strips.
