Let’s celebrate all things Jelly Roll with National Sew a Jelly Roll Day this Saturday, September 19th, 2020! Moda Fabrics created the jelly roll a number of years ago and they’ve created a day honoring one of my favorite things. Jelly Rolls are 2 1/2″ strips of fabric, from one fabric line. They are great for creating a quick quilt, because part of the cutting is already done for you. You can also cut your own jelly roll strips and create a scrappy assortment of fabrics for your own project.
This year we embraced Moda’s Three At A Time pattern, in honor of National Sew A Jelly Roll Day, and made this version using the Deer Christmas line of fabric.
I love the vintage vibe of these sweet prints and the quilt is really quick and easy. It takes one jelly roll and 2 yards of background.

Here’s a look at another version of that pattern from Moda.
This version uses squares instead of the rectangles in the Deer Christmas one above. It also uses Moda’s Junior Jelly Rolls in Yuletide, which we have available at the shop.
The second pattern we have to share from Moda Fabrics is Short & Long. This pattern features one Jelly Roll and 1 1/2 yards of background. Moda made up two versions of this quilt- one in Brights and one in Autumn.
Notice how one quilt uses a small corner stone block and the other just uses sashing. Both versions are in the pattern Short & Long. Click on the link below to download that pattern.

The last two patterns that Moda is sharing for National Sew A Jelly Roll Day are Sparkle & Illusion. These quilts feature a bit more piecing and need quite a bit more for background. Each quilt uses one jelly roll. Click on the links below to download the patterns.
I hope you enjoy these free quilt patterns, compliments of Moda Fabrics. I also hope they inspire you to find a Jelly Roll and sew along this Saturday!
