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 have never used jelly rolls…I do love layer cakes and charm packs. But I think it has more to do with the variety than the fact that they are precuts.

I like time well spent… but I have the hardest time even opening my jelly rolls. They’re so perfect and I know that they’re beautiful inside. I never even thought about white or cream precut but what a smart idea. And I bet I’d be able to open one of those

Hi Anne:
My mother lived through the depression. I was brought up to conserve and not waste something that could be used for something else. She was an original “green” consumer. So, I tend to be conservative when it comes to discarding scraps. On the other hand, cutting fabric is very therapeutic. I get to touch, measure, touch again, see it transform into different designs, and touch again! I love using Jelly Rolls and precuts (especially the Layer Cakes) but I also love cutting my own. It just gives me more time to touch fabric! Love, Mary
