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!

    Cutting is my least favorite part of quilting, so I love precuts. Moda had a great idea, that’s for sure. The other thing I like is getting a piece of the whole collection — it makes my fabric addition more controllable since I don’t have to but half yards!

    I’m making my very first jelly roll quilt right now, and I didn’t even whimper when I merrily skipped the part where I would have had to cut all those strips!! However, I did not use a jelly roll for the background fabrics, and I grumbled about it the whole time I was cutting all those strips. Now I’m a believer, jelly rolls whenever possible!!

    I love to save time! I work 2 jobs – 1 fulltime and 1 part time, so if I can save time by not cutting fabric….I am there! Instint gradification for me!
