Hi I’m Sarah from Missouri Star Quilting Company, welcome to our Brand New to Quilting
series!
Today we are going to feature and to talk about these Jelly Rolls, it sound like its
a doughnut or food, but it’s not. It is this whole bundle of fabric.
Moda does this and it’s Hemming House, this particular one and most of the fabric Moda
puts out they’ll cut them into Jelly Rolls.
So we have two and a half inch strips and if I open this up you can see that this is
the whole line cut into these strips, and you can see.
My mom started quilting when I was a teenager and I was always so scared of it because of
all the cutting and measuring and I thought ‘I’m never going to be able to do that.’
When they came out with these pre-cuts I was so excited because now I don’t have to go
into a fabric store and buy yards and yards of fabric, come home and be scared about cutting
it, now it’s already cut for me.
So now all I have to do is cut them into smaller pieces, so that’s what makes this for me,
makes quilting easy.
We have done several quilts in the shop that I'm going to show you, we’ve laid theses
out, you can change the colors, do lights and darks and there is so many things you
can do with the Jelly Roll.
I was actually really amazed and excited when these came out because it does it make quilting
easy. So let’s go over here and I can show you two of the projects we just did,
they’re really cool.
This is an example of what you can do with one Jelly Roll; it makes a great lap sized
quilt. There is just so much you can do with it.
I was really excited about this because we used this left over stuff, it dresses it up
makes it fun, it looks complicated but its not, I’ve got one more to show you it’s
really cool.
Hey this is the other quilt I wanted to show you that I’m really excited about, its called
a friendship braid and it’s just with a jelly role and we just use a little bit for
the borders and it’s so easy and once you get started you are going to be addicted,
it’s just how it works.
So if you’re interested, which I know you are, check out our website for Jelly Roll
selection.
We’ve got great stuff or keep an eye on the deal of the day because we do those and
we do some good deals so we’ll hope to see you next time and come back and keep checking
because we’ll show you how to put this stuff together next time.
