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 use both precuts and cut my own! Love the whole process. Last time I used a jelly roll it was for the Carry Me Bag!

Both! The last project I designed with pre-cuts, used one jelly roll and one layer cake, and as long as you didn’t make any cutting mistakes, only needed yardage for borders, had very little leftovers, and made about a 90″ quilt! (I was challenging myself to see how large a quilt I could make with the two fabric packs.)

Definitely a “time well spent” gal where jelly rolls are concerned. I just love having all those pretty strips ready to be admired and petted and imagined into a wonderful quilt!
