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 used precuts (charm pack) for the first time just this week. I am hooked! My least favorite part of quilting is the cutting, so I was thrilled at how quickly I was able to start sewing. (Not to mention, they have all the fabrics coordinated for you, so you don’t have to agonize over whether or not something “goes” with something else.) And there are so many patterns out there now that are based off of precuts!! I have never used a jelly roll before, but that is next on my list!!

I love the instant gratification of a jelly roll quilt. It’s fun to spread out those strips and start planning. Soon you have a gorgeous quilt top finished. Now if Moda could come up with a way for them to quilt themselves!

Yes I do hate to waste fabric…I have all my scraps organized. I haven’t used a lot of precuts…but sure could use them to save time. I am using the 2-1/2 precut strips right now for my Hexie quilt…sure is quick & easy.
