Jelly Roll Chickens etc.
Who doesn’t love a jelly roll? The whole process of cutting the fabric and rolling it amazes me, and when I have one in my hands, I love the way it looks. If you love Jelly Rolls too you’re going to love the new Moda All-Stars book! Moda All-Stars On Roll ships tomorrow, March 15th. And once again the royalties from another Moda All-Stars book go to a charity. All the royalties from On A Roll are donated to School on Wheels (SchoolOnWheels.org).
There’s everything in this book from my Jelly Roll chickens, Stacy Lest Hsu’s butterflies, to Barb & Mary’s One Roll Wonder and Sweetwater’s Square Dance. There are 14 quilts in total!
And you might find out some things you didn’t know about each designer. For example, Betsy Chutchian foolishly sold her 1969 yellow Ford Mustang while several states away, Joanna Figueroa was dreaming of owning one! As for me, I’m dreaming of a new Mercedes GLE SUV in a warm taupe color. And Sherri McConnell would like a BMW 4 Series (I’d take one too if I can’t have the Mercedes). Lisa Bongean wants a vintage white Cadillac convertible. Who knew all these things?
Here’s the fun part! I’m giving away two of these books on Saturday, March 16th. You could win one if you leave me a comment telling me why you love Jelly Rolls.
And if you happen to make my Jelly Roll chicken quilt, “Rule the Roost,” you’ll discover the answer to that timeless question “which came first the chicken or the egg?”. These chicks are some pretty smart girls!
Back soon!

This is simple. I love a scrappy look and Jelly rolls give me a great collection of scraps. There is enough variety to make many quilty projects with even just one delicious roll.

I love jelly rolls because everything is mostly cut for me and I don’t have to decide on the materials!! Lazy I know,

I love jelly rolls because all the beautiful fabrics are color coordinated by
Fabulous designers. Easy to work with since it is a challenge for me to put together the right fabrics.
