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!

Jelly Rolls…such a great name! But seriously I love how they cut MY cutting time. Less cutting, more sewing.

Congrats on your lovely quilt pattern – love what you designed with a jelly roll!! I love them especially for scrappy bindings when I have big quilts to bind – makes it sooooo much faster :)! Looking forward to seeing all the delicious patterns in this new book.

I absolutely love jelly rolls because I can quickly piece a simple, delightfully colorful and yummy quilt top in no time or I can create a more complex masterpiece and a portion of the work is already done for me with utilizing the precut strips. Sadly I will say that sometimes I don’t want to unroll them because they are so pretty and make me happy just they way they are — sitting on my shelf — so I find myself buying 2 of the same often so I can have one to “decorate” with. I also love your patterns!
