What do you use a Jelly Roll for?

[ss_storm]

Just a random question..lol. Are they for making quilts or something? Have seen them in spotlight and other places and thought wow they are a bit expensive, but don't know what you would actually do with it, and how are they any better for their use than just buying fabric by the metre/yard/fat quarter?

[tellytubby]

Yep for quilting
Expensive, but cuts back a lot of time on cutting fabrics. For easy quilt making

[*Beema*]

You can use them really for whatever. As far as your imagination will let you.
Simply sew together as it, or cut them into smaller squares/rectangles. Its really up to you and your motivation levels.
They are used to really just get you started on your quilt, still a lot of hard work ahead, but it gets you started..

[tellytubby]

Have liked the page now, so won't miss out next time

Hmmm while I think of it, I will PM you another place, but as long as you don't call me an enabler

[tellytubby]

wow they're cheap!!! This could be dangerous.... haha!!

[*Beema*]

mmmmm very dangerous.... says she who has bought about 40 yards of fabric I sew quite a range of things all for gifts and fun, clothes, taggies, blankets, bibs, bags, I am aiming for this year to make a majority of my gifts rather than buying them (enabling my fabric purchasing addiction!), I don't have time to make for others as I work full time as well, so love it as a hobby

[Laranna]

Hehe I bought a charm pack today from that sale...ooops....beema, do I know of this other place you speak of?
I've got lots of fabric cut, I just need to get sewing. Have made a few taggies for friends babies and there's more to come and have had a few requests as well.

[*Beema*]
