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 am with you on the ‘time’ factor. I want to just get going. PLUS, I love having a bit of each of the line available. I can never decide on just one or two yards of a collection. :)

I definitely don’t like wasting fabric or anything for that matter, nothing goes to waste around here. I have to say also that I’m all for saving time too, so I like pre-cut fabrics as long as they are accurate. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences with a pre-cut quilt kit, and with a charm pack that was not quiet 5″ sq. So I’d cut if I need accurate pieces and use pre-cuts for more forgiving projects, like scrappy quilts. Blessings.

Hi Anne! I’m not a big fan of cutting, but since I’m on “no buy” with 2 weddings in the next year (the nerve of those kids!), I might have to do more…but then again, I like to LOOK at my jelly rolls and hate to cut into them! I’m sure I’d break open Lily and Will to fondle and use though..
