Plenty of Jelly rolls & Layer cakes from MODA. Layer cakes are 10” x 10” squares of fabrics and are perfect for both quilting and craft projects. Moda Jelly Rolls are 2.5” x 44” strips of fabric, typically include 40 strips of fabric, but can vary. These 2.5” strips are great for quilts and small projects like the Jelly roll tiered skirt for 18” fashion dolls. (See Renee’s Pattern)
We have a good selection of patterns and books for all your spring projects.
