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!

I love jelly rolls for making whimsical quilts. It gives me a chance to try different patterns and use fabric choices I may have not chosen to use before. Such a fun way to create a quilt.

I love jelly rolls first because they look so pretty, second because they are already cut into perfect strips and third because there are so many wonderful patterns available to use the jelly rolls to make quick easy quilts. Looking forward to flipping thru the new book and making some of the patterns.

I love jellyroll! The pretty and swirly colors get my heart racing Being a precut motivates me to set these lovely strips in a quilt quicker than I could eat a jellyroll. I have them displayed on all sizes of cake plates, piled high with delicious possibilities. The best thing is they’re calorie free!! The only guilt I have is that they’re so pretty I don’t want to unroll them. Surely there’s a support group for me out there somewhere. Yes, my name is Lea and I am a jellyroll -aholic.
Thanks for entering my name to win this book. I’m sure it will assist in my recovery 😉
