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 like jelly rolls, honey buns and charm packs, because they are perfect for scrappy looking quilts. Especially for small projects like mug rugs or mini quilts. They offer the possibility of getting a nice range of perfect fitting different designs for a small prize ;o)
And my selfcut strips over the whole width are mostly imperfect especially near the fold ;o)

I don’t mind cutting, I love gadgets and lots of rulers. But there is something so alluring about the pre-cuts. I too love to rip open a package with Jelly Rolls or Layer Cakes. Begin careful not to get drool on the fabric I to see the coordinated colors and prints and start to imagine what they can become. I just bought my first book of pattern for pre-cuts and I’m always thinking how they can fit into a design.

I don’t like waste but I have to say I just LOVE Jelly Rolls and Charm Squares. Having just spent hours cutting out little bits from fat quarters, I kept dreaming of how much easier it would have been with a Jelly Roll!
