One Jelly Roll to Make a Quilt


I purchased a quilt kit from Craftsy that included one jelly roll, 5 yards of fabric for the background, sashing and borders, and 2/3 yard of fabric for the binding, all to make one quilt top.  I will need another 5-1/2 yards for the quilt backing.  This quilt will measure 72-1/2" x 85" when completed.  In this picture are squares and triangles that I spent a good amount of time cutting, using a rotary cutter. Now I'm ready to piece together the blocks; here's my first one, 12" square.
