National Sew A Jellyroll Day
Apparently it's National sew a jellyroll day. Who knew these days existed, but we all need an extra excuse to sew, don't we? Are you working on anything that has jellyrolls in it? I am working on a scrappy log cabin quilt made with 2.5" strips, so I reckon that counts! Happy sewing!

I bartered a bunch of family vintage quilt tops this spring, and a couple of jelly rolls were part of what I chose, but I don't know if I'll ever use them, I hate those pinked edges. Ilike starched fabric cut with precision. I thought I'd use them for sample blocks, but every time I've gotten them out, euuuu, pinked edges, no precision In this area I think I Am a luddite. I expect I'll donate them one of these days.

I don't buy many pre cuts but I do have a special jellyroll that I'm going to make MSQC Checkered Dresden with one day. I love that pattern! For quilt jellyroll quilts, I like log cabins. I'll have to look at Bonnie Hunter's Strip Twister. I generally cut my own 2.5" strips.

Well, I just spent my flexible Sunday morning before getting ready for church time wandering quilt patterns. Tee-Hee-Hee! I think the Bonnie Hunter quilt would visually drive me a little batty, but might try in a single color way rather than scrappy. The MSQC pattern attracts me or is it the colors that are so rich and blend so well? I also have a special jelly roll from the Downton Abbey line of fabrics that I have been keeping for something unique. The Checkered Dresden might work for that. Who knows? I will pass on the Maze.
Thank you all for some new ideas for using my jelly rolls. I have just a few and would like to use them up but use them well with something interesting. Your ideas fill the bill.
