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 like the pre cuts for the convience, you can cut for a project and with a little twist and turn produce something totally different. Lorraine

I am a process kind of sewer and don’t mind cutting ( and figuring out how many strips to cut for what I need. It makes my sister crazy! She is not a math person.) But there is definitely something satisfying about unrolling those strips and having at it! I absolutely love the variety you get with a jelly roll with no effort on your part whatsoever!

Anne,
I am all for using Jelly Rolls for ease and quickness. However, I must say that the Moda Jelly Rolls are always very accurate and precise in measurement. Some of the cheaper brands are not and it is so frustrating to discover that the size is incorrect after commencing a quilt.
Love your patterns!
Jan.
