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’m a “time well spent” kinda gal. Besides Moda can cut those strips much straighter than I ever could – and faster! Oh, and don’t you just love the precut dust that ends up all over your clothes! I do! It means I was playing with fabric! It’s like a badge of honor among quilters!

I try to be a “waste not, want not”, and depending on what’s going on in my life, I am. However, there are so many projects that I’m just so anxious to begin, that “time well spent” helps me get right into it without spending all that prep time. I would dearly LOVE to be the recipient of the cream jelly roll — I see a new beginning in my future!

I love pre-cuts, but more because then I get a print of a whole line than because of time savings. I don’t mind cutting out fabric. I’m a very “of the moment” quilter, doing whatever part I feel like doing at the time. I definitely don’t like to waste fabric and cherish even my smallest scraps. My favorite, favorite, favorite part is always planning the color and design, whether I use pre-cuts or not.
