Jelly Roll Chickens etc.

March 14, 2019 / 149 Comments

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 book looks fabulous! Love the patterns, especially the chickens. The proceeds going to charity is just icing on the cake. Love jelly rolls, because they save the time of cutting. A big step in my quilt has been done for me and I can get to the fun part.

    These look like such fun projects!  I love jelly rolls because there are so many ways to use them.  For me, it’s one of the most useful precuts.  How many times do I begin by cutting 2-1/2″ strips from my yardage?
    Funny to hear you talk about the various cars.  For me, my favorite car I ever owned was my brand new cobalt blue VW Bug.  What memories!  I know it isn’t in the same genre as the ones you mentioned, but that one still holds a special place in my heart :)
