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 love precuts…especially jellyrolls. They make starting your project so quick. And then the best part, it is all coordinated for you. Everything goes together. Love it!

Lily & Will in Jelly Rolls??? Oh. My. Goodness. Just too delicious!!! I hate to waste fabric – in fact, I kind of hate to even cut fabric because it is so beautiful. Maybe pre-cut is the way to go for me. Of course, those jelly rolls are so pretty all rolled up like that – I kind of hate to pull them apart, too!! (Okay, this is sort of pathetic, huh?)

I like the cutting. But even bigger on my list is being able to prewash. Still, if I win, I’ll give it my all to use the jelly rolls!
My solution to getting rid of scraps that you feel are too big to trash but not big enough to really be useful? Put a paper bag near your cutting table and throw those “in-between” pieces in it. When it is full, roll down the top and give it to someone else!!! They will be thrilled and you don’t feel guilty!
