Beautiful! Love the pattern and Moda fabrics! I've been scared off from jelly rolls as I've heard from a few people that the Bali Pops specifically are not perfectly cut. What's your opinion? I'm going to be a new grandma and would love to make this for the nursery (among many others LOL).

Bali pops are the only ones people have posted about having problems with. And they're a different manufacturer(Hoffman). I used a Moda jelly roll. I'm not crazy about the pinked edges, but I understand the reason... I was still able to keep the 1/4" seaming, but it was a bit more of a challenge working with the pinked edges of the jelly roll. I have several more jelly rolls and honey buns that I got very inexpensively. So, I'll be using them up. Personally, I wouldn't pay full price for pre-cuts as I don't think the cost is worth it. I only buy them when they practically fall into my lap and are at a deep discount. :thumbup:
