Jelly Roll Jam Quilt/New Aprons

The Fat Quarter Shop posted a great

Jelly Roll Jam Quilt,

complete pattern and tutorial. 

I love the Fat Quarter Shop.

This is a super simple quilt, and it just so happened I had a couple of Jelly Rolls just waiting to be used. 

I've actually had them for over a year, (maybe longer) stashed in my craft room.

Don't know what a Jelly Roll is....

This pattern literally just takes just a couple of hours to make this quilt, start to finish. 

I made two of them. 

The quilts are lap size, measuring about 36x36. 

This was made from a Moda Jelly Roll, Coming Home by Deb Strain. 

I used the new Moda, Wool and Needle Flannel, by Primitive Gatherings, in black, for the backing.

The second one

is also made from a Moda Jelly Roll, Together by Brannock and Patek. 

I used the same Flannel backing as the other quilt, only in red. 

I cannot say enough good things about Moda brand fabric, 

and several other of my favorite makers. 

Yes, I have to admit it...

I'm a fabric SNOB!'

OK- I said it! 

I can't, and won't, settle for the cheaper fabric store brands. 

It's the feel, the texture, and the quality, and  that's what I choose to pay for. 

I always stick to the higher end manufactures and designers. 

Which brings me to the point of selling them.

I can't. Why?

Because I'm not so sure I could even cover my material costs in each quilt. 

Each quilt has about $50.00 of material involved. 

Which, does not include my time or thread. 

Each Jelly Roll runs about $40.00, I used half of a Roll in each quilt. 

The Flannel for the backing was $11.99 per yard, I used one yard in each quilt. 

The batting was $17.99 per bag, I used 1 bag, minus 2 feet,  for each quilt. 

So really, unless you have a fair knowledge about the fabric costs of the materials used, 

would you really be willing to pay $50.00 per quilt, or more?

I'm working on some new Aprons....

Here's a sneak peek at the fabrics I'll be using...

Another great manufacture, Robert Kaufman, designed by 

Mary Lake Thompson. 

I'm making more of the smock style aprons, and will be selling them for $34.95 each. 

They will be this style

I'm currently out of the chicken print, but if you're interested in these fabrics for an Apron, 

I'm pretty sure I can get more.

If you, or anyone you know, may be interested in purchasing an Apron, please contact me directly, before I list them in my Etsy Store. 

Which has been sorely neglected these past several months. 

Boo...:(

Have a lovely day.
