Objects of OUR Desire!

Quilting Tutorial
Natalie LOVES coming up with new things to try and do with all of our Moda precuts.  This project went together in a snap.  It was fun and fast.  A must for us here at MSQC.  🙂

All you need is  a Jelly Roll and a layer cake….make a few slices and stitches and wha-la.  DONE.

Just how we like it.

**Hi, its me, I just noticed that I made a BIG measurement mistake! oops! 🙂 The correct measurements for this jelly roll/ layer cake quilt are…

1) cut your layer cake into two pieces…one 6″ x 10″ and one 4″ x 10 “

2)cut your jelly roll into strips that measure 2.5″ x 10″ and 2.5″ x 12” (I said 13 in the video!) I guess I was a bit nervous! Sorry!

Don’t forget to send us a pic (you could post these in the forums or send us an email!) if you try this quilt out!

Thanks, Natalie

Remember to comment away for our giveaway.  We will be keeping track.  (and don’t forget to tell your friends about it either!)  🙂

*quilt was made using one Objects of Desire (by Sandy Gervais) jelly roll and one layer cake.  (by Moda, of course)

Jelly Roll Week…all about coins

Coins, coins, coins……I bet you’ve seen them all over the ‘world wide web’ this summer, and you are dying to make one!!  They are easy peasy, and you will love the end result!

Using a jelly roll makes it so much easier, because your 2-1/2 inches are already cut, all you have to cut is your desired length.  We chose 5 inches for our example, here. Then you use a coordinating fabric for your sashing and BAM, your done!

If you have made one before, or if you make one after watching this video, upload a photo of your finished project to the forums!!  We’d LOVE to see it!

Thanks so much for joining us this week, for Jelly Roll Week!  We have lots of fun in store.  Videos everyday, a giveaway or two and lots of fun ideas to get you thinking for the holidays!  🙂  Stay tuned…..this is gonna be fun!

*fabric used was one Zippity Doo Dah Jelly roll (by Sandy Gervais) and Bella Solid (Navy) by Moda
