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 am definitely a waste not, want not quilter. I really think about and work out the best way to use the yardage with the biggest scraps left. I can’t describe the feeling it gives me when I am successful and have a lot of leftover fabric … just that much more for something else. :)

I tend to lean towards ‘waste not, want not’ because I love scraps, but I have a large collection of charm packs because its a nice way to get a variety of small pieces fabrics for applique or charm quilts. One of the things I hate about the precuts is the pinked edges…I find a straight edge easier to cut along when I want to do precise rotary cutting. Of course, it could just be my eyes and age! I haven’t tried jelly rolls yet.

I love using precuts! I have rheumatoid arthritis and it saves me a lot using precuts plus it saves lots of time.
