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 seem to go both ways, I love precuts, but then will cut up my stash and leave the precuts looking so perfect.

I like Jelly Rolls for some things but they would never be a permanent substitute for doing it myself. I like the whole process of quilting, choosing the pattern, finding just the right fabrics for the look I want, washing, cutting – the full meal deal if you will. I guess I’m old-fashioned that way but quilting for me is not just about sewing – in fact, that’s the part I like the least!

Precuts are the best invention since the rotary cutter! LOL! I love buying and using them. My time is precious and the sooner I can start sewing the better. And, most of the precut patterns use almost all the precut so I don’t end up with a lot of scraps, which I like!
