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!

Love, love, love precuts. Saves time and I get the whole line of fabric. None of my LQS carry them, so I always buy mine online, always at a discounted price.
Haven’t used the solid precuts, the cost/time saved does not come out in my favor.
My all time favorite, is a fat quarter bundle. Pricey even at a discount, but can cut a jelly roll, layer cake, and some 3″ strips from each fat quarter. Then I can use them anyway I like and get some scraps too. Thanks for the giveaway, love your fabric.

I love using Jellyrolls and charm packages. It is so easy to just sit and sew and ENJOY without the extra time cutting. I keep some scraps, however I have someone I pass most of mine on to. There are some great patterns out there for pre-cuts and it seems more are designing around them now.

I love my scraps and I do enjoy cutting my own fabric, I don’t know why, I just do. Pre cuts are good for the time savings, too though. I guess I enjoy both ways!
