When I read about jelly roll day in the summer, I thought I would work on a project. However our daughter and SIL were here from Phoenix. No sewing happened. I'll get to the jelly roll(s) sometime, maybe next year!

YES! This will force me to to put the finished blocks together instead of letting them lay somewhere...and then hang the top up with all the others to be done.....someday.

I bravely opened not one, but TWO jelly rolls. They are a bit messy, but I cleaned up the edges with my lint brush and I'm ready to go on a rail fence, simple, but fun to make. When I sew my strips, I have a Swiffer mop and duster ready to clean up the lint.

I was in Texas and did spend Saturday sewing but it was a charm square project... I did purchase a Bella solid blue mini jelly roll on Monday to add sashing to my charm project... does that count??!! I admit... jelly rolls scare me! No matter how hard I try and the tips n tricks I use.. they tend to go wonky on me if I sew long strips... ☹️ That said, I did buy a Kaffe jelly roll recently. We'll see what I do with it...

Fun post Carrie! Challenge accepted. I had Saturday's Jelly Rolling planned, but signed up for a guild class at the last minute. I'm going to get started today!

I was determined to downsize my stash, so I wanted to make quilts with the fastest assembly time. You guessed it - Jelly Roll Race! Not very imaginative, but highly effective. I started Saturday morning with 3 rolls of an Island Batik, making a king quilt for my own bed, then made 5 single-roll tops for grandkids and other young relatives. By Sunday night, I was bored (!!!), but pleased that my stash reduction project yielded so many Christmas gifts, assuming I can get them quilted....... Thanks for the giant nudge! I have no social media presence so my participation ends here, but good luck to all with the next step.

Yes, I joined you on Saturday and no my quilt top is not finished yet. But all my blocks are sewn and I just need to sew them together. It was fun to finally use my Hello Darling jelly roll . I've used a pattern I've made up and I love how the blocks turned out. Now I have a great reason to finish it too. Have a wonderwul and sewing kind of weekend:-)

I didn't start since were in the middle of renovations - all the fabric and machines are safely put away to keep them clean. I was wondering if you would share how you make your starch. Thanks!

I opened a jelly roll from my stash and started a pattern called 'Fancy" I believe. Couldn't find a bella solid locally so I will be cutting the background from moda solid. Good to be back in the sewing room..

Yep, I opened a jelly roll and 2 layer cakes of Prairie Paisley II (a blast from the past!) from Minnick & Simpson. Am in the process of making 72 sawtooth star blocks for a queen sized quilt from them, so it's going to take a while. Thanks for the inspiration to get back into quilting!

my jelly rolls do not come wrapped so there was no plastic to rip off........ glad that you get none of us need another UFO.

Love all the project pics. Can you do a post about how you use starch/sizing when working with precuts? You said you use a mixture of water and starch but can we have more specifics please?

Yes I sewed using jelly roll scraps, does that count. The blocks are all done just need to sew them together.
