Scrap Basket Sensations Quilt Club + Giveaway

298 Comments

I’m very excited to be back here at the Jolly Jabber! Kimberly has created another Scrap Basket Sensations Quilt Club using my latest book, Scrap-Basket Sensations, published by Martingale & Company, along with Moda’s beautiful Jelly Rolls. I know you’ll love the Jelly Rolls she has chosen for each kit — they’re absolutely gorgeous! She has a gift for choosing fabrics that work really well with a pattern.

I love working with 2 ½” strips. This size is large enough for cutting into smaller pieces, but small enough for strip-pieced designs. And because the fabrics are so gorgeous and the strips are already cut, I’m crazy about Jelly Rolls. Occasionally, I’ll make an entire quilt using only one Jelly Roll, but for the most part, I use Jelly Rolls as my stash. As soon as I bring them home, I unroll them (yes, really!) and store them in shoebox-size storage containers. I really appreciate the fabric designers who incorporate at least one color used in a previous line into a new fabric collection. Mixing up the collections gives me a greater variety of prints, resulting in a really scrappy look.

My obsession with quilting began in 1988. Using Judy Hopkins’ Ultimate Book of Quilt Block Patterns, I cut mylar templates, tracing each shape onto fabric, then cutting each piece with scissors. I hand-pieced a huge stack of blocks for a sampler quilt. Actually, I probably had enough blocks for three quilts. And I never made the sampler quilt. By the time I had the courage to put the blocks together, the fabrics (blue, mauve, and peach calico prints!) didn’t appeal to me any longer, and I passed them on to my friend (poor dear). After ten years of “practicing” quilting, I finally put a binding on my first finished quilt in 1998. I still like appliquéing by hand, but my pieced quilts are all sewn by machine, and also quilted on my sewing machine.

When asked about the best day of your life, most people would say it was the day they were married, the day their child was born, etc. For me, it was the day I discovered the rotary cutter. We’ve had a completely blissful relationship for many years. Please don’t be offended — I don’t have children, and my husband was aware of my rotary cutter when we married.

I hope you enjoy the Fat Quarter Shop’s Scrap-Basket Sensations Quilt Club! It’s going to be fun!

  7. I still have my eye on the Oasis jelly rolls – those fabrics are beautiful together! I've been so excited to see quilts popping up from Kim's new book – thanks for the chance to win!!

  8. There are so many fabric lines that I just love, but one of my favourites at the moment is Little Rascals by Chloe's Closet for Moda.

  19. So many lovely jelly rolls to choose from… anything by Kate Spain is always a hit with me but Ready Set Snow looks lovely too :o) Thanks for the giveaway!

  20. I have become a fabric junkie and will soon need a second job to cover my habit, BUT I love Perrenials by Kansas Troubles.

  21. VERY tough choice–there are so many pretty ones. I would choose Warm Pastels Bella Solids. I feel myself easing into a "solids phase."

    I would LOVE to win the book!!

    LeAnn aka pasqueflower

  23. I have a hard time with the jelly rolls cuz I love so many, including the Bali Pops but, right now I really love the Grand Finale Jelly Roll Sandy Gervais for Moda Fabrics. Would love to win the book to help me melt down my current supply 🙂

  27. So hard to pick, but I think my favorite jelly roll right now would be Grace. I can't wait to get a copy of this book.

  32. So hard to pick just one, but I think I'd have to pick Sandy Beach by Anthology Fabrics, looks so soft and calming 🙂

  34. I would love to work with the 'Le Petit Poulet' Jelly Roll. It's just so bold and the I find the designs so cool.

  46. Too many choices!

    Mine has to be the

    Aqua & Brown Lily & Will II

    Mostly because it matches the color scheme I have currently in my home. We all know how quilters rarely make for themselves.

  48. Charlevoix is one of my current favorites. Maybe it's the RWB of Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor day that put me in the mood. Kathie L in Allentown

  55. I am drooling over the Splendid Batiks roll up by Robert Kaufman! There are so many pretty jelly rolls it's hard to pick, but that one's gorgeous :o)

  117. I'm really feeling the Christmas in July thing at the moment, and love Countdown to Christmas and Flurry, so they're probably my favorite jelly rolls for today. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll find something else though! 🙂

  147. Decisions, decisions! I think I'd have to go with Grace by Three Sisters. A beautiful collection. Thanks for the giveaway.

  151. I think I spotted Countdown to Christmas there, or maybe will pick a Kona pastel solids jelly roll. It's a difficult dilemma of choice. Thanks for the giveaway. Would enjoy this book for sure.

  154. Flurry from Kate Spain or any of the Bali Pops or Tonga Treats or Bella Solids or…. I am hopeless. Or Oasis to use with my charm squares or…. I give up. I can't come even close to choosing just one!

  155. my faves are definitely pom pom de paris and from the non moda 2.5 inch strip rolls, sew cherry!

  207. This may sound boring, but I've been eyeing the Oatmeal Bella Solids Jelly Roll lately. I have lots of stash, but not a lot of neutrals to go with them. This mix of solids would still lend a scrappy look when used with existing stash.

  221. I will say "Countdown to Christmas!" It is so hot and humid here today that I would not mind cold and snow one bit!!
    Thanks so much for the give-a-way!!

  222. Oh my! With all the wonderfull jelly rolls available, picking one is extremely hard. I would have to say that my current favorite is So Sophie by My Minds Eye. However, I reserve the right to change my mind without prior notice! LOL!

  242. I love the new Tonga Treat Strips from Timeless Treasures. It's a difficult choice between the Gelato and the Island Punch, but I'll have to go with the Island Punch!

  243. Hmm, that's tough question, but right at this second, the Primitive Muslins is my favorite jelly roll. It would be great to blend with one from Kansas Troubles in one of Kim's patterns!
