50 Cents a Pattern: Jelly Roll Scraps

Quilters and patchworkers all over the world are familiar with Jelly Rolls--bundles of coordinating fabrics manufactured by Moda, pre-cut into useful 21/2in strips. But what to do with all those left-over pieces once the patchwork quilt has been made? Instead of assigning them to the waste bin, sewers can save them up and soon have enough to stitch at least one of the fun projects in this book. Using simple sewing, quilting and patchwork techniques, there are 20 projects to choose from, including stylish cushions, pretty little bags, and a handy pincushion--all of which are quick and easy to make on-the-go, and each costing only 50 cents a pattern. Even if sewers don't use Jelly Rolls, any odd scraps of fabric can be used instead--just cut them to size and away they go! All the templates are provided as well as some basic tips and techniques, and each project is accompanied by a list of the materials and tools the reader will need, and clear, step-by-step instructions.
