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 “waste not, want not” but would love to be a “time well spent”. I use pre-cuts some, but very carefully. If I have to open a jelly roll for a pattern that only calls for less than half of them….I just can’t do. I’ll usually cut my own strips. But if a pattern calls for all the strips to be used…I’m very happy to splurge and open the jelly roll.

Love, love, love the jelly rolls and other precuts. Matter of fact, I have just bought two jelly rolls to make a quilt and I lean towards more precuts lately (never enough time) and when I do go through my scrap drawer I am cutting my scraps into precuts so I can be ready for a scrappy quilt when the time comes.

I like to make it a combo. I’ll buy jelly rolls of my favorite line, but then cut out my basic whites out of a bolt.
