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!

Anne,
I think I fall somewhere in between the two. I like the time saved aspect of pre-cuts and have enjoyed using a few of them. On the other hand, the stash is filled with fabrics that caught my eye for one reason or another and I like to add them into projects that may also have used pre-cuts. I don’t save my scraps for my use, I keep a bag that I fill with scraps and then pass along to my mother and my aunt, who have enjoyed making many scrap quilt projects together. Thanks for all the great ideas!

Hi Anne!
I want to thank you for the heads up on the Moda Jelly Dream Design. I had decided to sit down and finally come up with something easy to do with jelly rolls with the idea in mind to send it out to Moda some day. I am some one who has not ever use a jelly roll or any precut fabric at all but would love to try! I also think that with Lily & Will II would also look great for the pattern you designed in 2008 Little Jelly Bags. That is the pattern that got me more curious about what Bunny Hill has to offer.
Sincerely,
Jennifer O.

I love to use both. I don’t think that I have made anything totally from pre-cuts……seems that I need a little something else added in♥
