Love those Jelly Rolls!
I’m in love with Jelly Rolls. There’s just something so dang sweet about them! Yesterday I went to the Moda web site and ta da! My favorite Jelly Rolls appeared! I was so surprised to see that Lily & Will were having coffee hot chocolate with Moda!
If you like to play with Jelly Rolls go to the Moda website for the new Jelly Roll Dream Challenge! Here’s your chance to design a Jelly Roll quilt and win big! Enter the contest and you might win a Janome sewing machine not to mention a lot of fame. It’s “sew” easy and so much fun! Remember you can download the fabric swatches for all the current lines on the Moda website then design away using graph paper or Electric Quilt.
I’m taking a little survey: Are you a “waste not, want not kind of quilter” or is “time well spent” more important to you? I have to admit I’m on the side of “time”. I’m the one who loves to use pre-cut cream and white jelly rolls! Forget cutting my own strips it’s just not for me. I want to open the package and start sewing. Which one are you? Tell me in the comments and you could win a cream jelly roll along with a Lily & Will Jelly Roll! I’ll tell you the winners on my next blog post! (There is no wrong or right answer so be honest.)
Back soon!

I’ve never actually used a jelly roll, but there’s no time like the present to try one! If you pick me, I’ll make my decision after I use it!

I had to think about this one, but I believe I’m both! I love the precuts, but more because I get to see the whole line, which my LQS may or may not stock, but I also like yardage so I can combine my own. And I do have scrap drawers – not as organized as I’d like (someday), but 2 1/2″ squares in one, strips in another and lots of yet to be cut down scraps in 2 more.

Hi Anne!
I’m a time well spent girl too. I am frugal with my fabric, but realistic there may not be another purpose for some of those little pieces!
I like to plan my projects. As I work at my job 45 hrs/wk, I plan for each step, unfortunately equals about 1 to 1.5 hrs/evening of sewing. So either sewing and pressing or pressing and pinning or pinning and sewing.
Slow and steady gets the job done. Of course, precuts help me meet my evening goals much more quickly!
Thanks for the giveaway,
Take care, Leslie
