The dessert roll is the double-width cousin of the jelly roll. It's cut at 5 inches instead of 2.5, leaving sew much more fabric per strip. This week, Jenny is using a dessert roll from I Heart Ombre by V & Co. for FreeSpirit Fabrics, and those extra inches of fabric really let that ombre color shine. The Ombre Lovely Day Quilt was designed by the ombre queen, Vanessa Christenson, and it comes together beautifully with those wide dessert roll strips.
Note: In the video Jenny states that she used a 108" backing for this quilt. We actually used 3.5 yards of the 44" fabric with a horizontal seam. We apologize for the error.
