Everyday I get an email from the Missouri quilt company, showing their deal of the day. A few weeks ago, the deal was a jelly roll line made by Moda, Miss Kate. Of coarse it was designed by Bonnie and Camelle and so I had to look into it, them being some of my favorite designers.
Guess what I did, I had to order it! The colors and patterns are so much fun!
I also knew the perfect pattern to make this quilt into. I drew up a pattern in July to make with Riley Blake, it's a Beautiful Thing line, and called it my 'Alyssa quilt' as it's for my daughter Alyssa. This Miss Kate fabric and my Alyssa pattern, will make a fun baby quilt for an upcoming baby girl in my family.
(Like how I'm using my old scrapbooking paper to design quilts on?)
Supplies for Alyssa quilt:
1 Jelly Roll
Neutral Fabric (need 5" for every 5 blocks) Baby quilt: 2/3 yd, Twin quilt: 2 1/2 yds

Step 1:
Sort your jelly roll fabric into groups of 4 fabric that will go together. Try to mix your colors up so for example green won't be on the outside edge of each strip.
Step 2:
Chain stitch each group of 4 together
Step 3:
Iron hour strips, I prefer to iron all seams in one direction
Step 4:
Cut your pieced strips into 4 1/2" strips
Each combined strip of 4 jelly roll strips sewn together, will give you 9 block pieces to work with.
Step 5:
First, cut your neautral fabric into 2 1/2" strips, so that they will be fabric with @ 44" long by 2 1/2" wide.
