So fun! It has really brightened the last few weeks.
Yesterday, I asked for input about what to do for this last giveaway for my blogiversary month. Many of you were very kind and said that all the choices were great (including my homemade ones), and you couldn't decide. The rest were pretty much unanimously in favor of more DS Quilts fabric. Well, have I got a treat for you!
My friends at Westwood Acres have generously agreed to donate a DS Quilts Jelly Roll to help me celebrate this final week of my blogiversary. I haven't got all the details yet, but I know that it will contain 2-1/2 inch strips of all of the DS Quilts prints. I'm so excited! I want to win it myself. Thanks Westwood Acres for helping me celebrate! Westwood Acres has a few FQ sets and jelly rolls left to sell, so if you're dying for this DS Quilts fabric, head on over.
EDIT: I just found out that this jelly roll includes TWO! strips of each fabric for a total of 42 strips! Generous, huh?
So, how do you enter to win all this DS yumminess, you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked.
1. Leave me a comment and tell me what you would make with this beautiful jelly roll. If you have a favorite jelly roll tute on the web, please let me know.
2. Be sure you're a follower, and leave a comment to let me know.
3. Invite a friend to be a follower and leave a comment to let me know that you did. If they become a follower too, you will get a 4th chance to win.
EDIT: Someone commented that I don't have an end date here, and I totally forgot. This giveaway ends Thursday, April 28 at midnight.
And now, (drum roll please!) for the winner of last week's giveaway, which was a selection of 7 fat quarters of the new DS Quilts Picnic and Fairgrounds fabric...

I'm working on some pillows with baseball themed fabric for the president of our school's baseball booster club. Great give-away.
Alisa, if you will send me your address, I'll get your FQs in the mail on Monday.
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive of my little blog.
There is a special issue magazine just out here in Australia about precuts. It has a great quilt in it using a jelly roll that I would love to make. Incidently, I have never owned a jelly roll!
ReplyDeleteI am a loyal follower of your lovely blog!
ReplyDeleteIhave a precut magazine that has a quilt in it I would love to make for my Mom and Dad and their camper.

ReplyDeleteI have never used a jelly roll before so I am not sure what I would use it for. The colors look like they would make a really nice table runner, OR some really nice mug rugs, OR..... The possibilities are boundless! :)
ReplyDeleteI think a jellyroll is perfect for a strippy table runner! These colors would be amazing on a table!
ReplyDeleteI just saw your post on the 3 x 6 flickr group. I think I might make a quilt top from my "Jelly Roll Quilts" quilting book. This book has been on my shelf for a couple of years and I still haven't made anything from it. Congrats on your blogiversary.
ReplyDeleteI am now a follower!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric! I don't know what I would make, but it would be yummy!

ReplyDeleteGlad to have found your blog!
I've never owned a jelly roll either although I have 2 books on quilts to make from them. So, I will have plenty of choice for a quilt to sew if I was lucky enough to win the Giveaway!
ReplyDeletejelly rolls are PERFECT to cut up for 1 in. hexies! and these prints would look fantastic that way.
ReplyDeleteand i just became a follower!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteI would probably check the Moda Bakeshop for a Jellyroll idea because I haven't used a jelly roll before!
ReplyDeleteOoo....pretty. I would have to research a pattern since I have yet had a jelly roll to play with. I think this roll would be he perfect start.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower now! I love finding new blogs to follow. As far as the jelly roll....it's the bright colors that I like.
ReplyDeleteJan @ www.artfriendzy.blogspot.com
I would make many hexagons out of this!!! I just signed up to be a follower, and suggested that a friend follow your blog too!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I would try a table runner with the jelly roll.
ReplyDeleteI have several wonderful jelly roll patterns, but I've been wanting to try the hexagon quilt along, they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm folowing in my google reader. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a log cabin quilt with the jelly role...its usually the cutting that puts me off the most :)

ReplyDeleteIf I won the wonderful DS jelly roll, I would make placemats -- the fabrics remind me of the 1940's - retro!
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower of your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh perfect! I'm working on a new pattern that will use jelly roll strips - it's a new take on a tote...
ReplyDeleteWow, you're really celebrating in style!! Thanks for the chance to win such an exciting and gorgeous prize :)
ReplyDeleteIf I were lucky enough to win, I'd like to make a quilt with this fabric and the one that I have in mind is a free pattern from Moda. I'll try linking but not sure if it will work! It's the pattern designed for Oliver + S Modern Workshop fabric and it's so cute!

ReplyDeleteThanks again for the fab giveaway.
fun, fun, fun! I love this line so much that I think I would have to use every spare piece of fabric in that jelly roll. That means, a strippy quilt of some type. There's one in the Moda Bake Shop that has the rows offset. I think that would be gorgeous with a solid Kona.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower
ReplyDeleteI've never had a fabric jelly roll before. Yours would be fun to make into a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of your blog. Happy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteI've never used jelly rolls before...thanks for the chance to win one! I'd like to make a summer quilt with these fabrics - they'd make a beautiful picnic blanket.

Happy Blogiversary! I would make a picnic quilt for my family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win!

ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do with that jelly roll? HAVE FUN! I'm thinking that a simple quilt would work the best, I forget the name of it but it's similar to the rail fence block using 5 strips. it would create a wonderfully scrappy look. And I would use it in my bedroom! I love cheeriness in the morning.
Thanks so much for the chance.
Brand new follower here, glad to have "met" you.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what I would make...hmmmm, maybe some hexagons, or a mug rug.
ReplyDeleteI have never used a jelly roll or any precuts, but Lynne of Lily's Quilts seems to have some great ideas that I'd like to try. Such as her Little Big George. I think that making a quilt of those blocks could be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm also a follower . . . :)
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt and possibly use one of the Thimble Blossom patterns.
ReplyDeleteI think I would do that last Fat Quarterly quilt along, which I guess I would call log cabin. They all turned out so pretty and this line deserves to be featured that way. So pretty!!! I'm obsessed, and my store won't be getting it :(
ReplyDeleteFollower! :)
ReplyDeletei would make some bright cushions, or maybe use them as legs and arms for little creatures...
ReplyDeletefollower too...thanks...xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, probably a mixture of patchwork bags, table mats and cushions.
ReplyDeleteI think a strip quilt out of picnic and fairgrounds would look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI AM a follower already.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a chance to win these beautiful fabrics...I don't have any yet as my Joann's never got any! I would definitely make a quilt of some sort!
ReplyDeleteHello :)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure on a pattern, but I know I want some of this line for a picnic blanket (which is really just more of a 'going to the park' blanket)
Thanks for the chance to win some!
I fell in love with your site. Its soooo beautiful. I am a follower for sure :)
ReplyDeleteLeena

and another at

The colors in your giveaway are so much "fresher" than the ones I used. Mine look so old fashioned. But I still love it.
And now that I have a new sewing machine I would also machine quilt the quilt instead of knotting it. Sooooo much better!
I would love to win this jelly roll, and use it to create a strip quilt with ruffles. {or course I can't find the tutorial right now that I want to use, but will e-mail it to you when I find it). Just think crib size with strips and a ruffled fabric strip over a matching strip.

This is probably very wrong - but I'd make a jellyroll curtain (with a good strong backing) for my bub's room.

ReplyDeleteI would make some caps for my grand daughter who was recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She is losing her hair

ReplyDeleteI really love the Bento box style quilts, and they are great for jelly rolls. Square in squares as ell, especially if you make your middle square a 4 patch from 2 strips of contrasting plains, and so on, I love to play with the variations...
DS fabrics, gorgeous, smart, ageless, timeless, what is there not to love!Enjoy you Blogoversary, and may there be many more!
Wow, I would love to win this jelly rolly. HOnestly, I would probably hoard it, but eventually I would make something I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower, how fun!
ReplyDeleteThe question should be what would I NOT make with a jelly roll?:) To be truthful...I have purchased 3 jellyrolls since I started quilting two years ago and I haven't busted into them because they are so pretty just sitting on my shelf!:)
ReplyDeleteBut I have cut out tons on 2 1/2" strips and I love to make the rail fence, log cabin, bentos and 9 patch or just sew strips together and cut them up again and sew them back again and see what happens!:)
Congrats!
I just received the coolest jellyroll quilts book as a birthday gift from a friend, and am excited to try out some of those patterns.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower :)

ReplyDeleteI would either make a handbag or pillow case. If most of the strips are light colors, then it will definitely be a pillow case.
