Have you heard of the latest craze in quilting?? It's the Jelly Roll, and NO it is not a donut! This is much more exciting than that!!
This kind of Jelly Roll is made out of fabric (that got your attention, didn't it?!) And not just any fabric...each Roll contains 40 perfectly cut 2 1/2" strips of fabric...perfectly coordinated from a collection of Moda fabric!! Retailing around $30.00 each.
Imagine creating a quilt without even having to cut your own strips!! WooHoo!!
Lots and Lots of quilt patterns are built around 2 1/2" strips. I had to get my hands on one and I got one for my birthday! I was so excited! I have started the quilt and here is the pattern I am doing for my first one. It is the Dick and Jane Collection. Vintage inspired fabrics with colors that will be perfect for the new baby boy! Now I need your prayers to get it done in less then 10 weeks in time for the baby.
I love MODA fabric but I must admit it's the jelly roll part that reeled me in!
