Quilters know that a "jelly roll" isn't something to eat with coffee but a delectable collection of 2 1/2" strips of fabrics, coordinated and ready to sew.
If you haven't yet developed a sweet tooth for these enticing treats, MODA All-Stars On A Roll might just have you running to the quilt shop for a quick fix.
Fourteen patterns from top designers are offered with something to appeal to every aesthetic. Each of the designers is introduced with cute Q&As and hints.
Just look at Square Dance by Karla Eisenach! This subtle plaid pattern at once modern and traditional. Karla used one Jelly Roll of assorted red and tan prints. I just love it.
Square Dance, 58" x 58", 12" blocks
Betsy Chutchian's Mountain Climbing has a traditional Country look. She used contrasting colors, one set "north" and one set "south," from a Jelly Roll of assorted prints set against a dark gray.
Mountain Climbing, 54 1/2" x 64 1/2", 9" x 8" block
The adorable Sweet Butterfly by Stacy Iest Hsu is a pattern any girl would fall in love with. She used a Jelly Roll of assorted pastel prints. Imagine it with bold colors!
Sweet Butterfly, 63" x 68 1/2", block is 17 1/2" x 14"
Lynne Hagmeier employed strip piecing for Chain Reaction. She used a Jelly Roll of tan and dark prints.
Chain Reaction, 62 1/2" x 76 1/2", 6" x 8" block
Trifle by Janet Clare is inspired by the British dessert that is to die for, made with layers of sponge cake, fresh fruit, custard, and whipped cream. She used two Jelly Rolls of assorted brights and 81 5" x 5" squares in assorted prints. This is a foundation pieced pattern.
Trifle, 63 1/2" x 63 1/2", 7" x 7" block
Maisy Daisies by Joanna Figueroa is another sweet pattern that can be made in the pastels she shows or in brights. Joanna used an assortment of Jelly Roll strips for this beautifully coordinated palette.
Maisy Daisies, 56 1/2" x 71 1/2", 9" x 9" block
One Roll Wonder by Barbara Groves and Mary Jacobson uses one Jelly Roll of assorted pastels. This is a simple pattern to construct and would be a quick gift quilt to whip up.
One Roll Wonder, 60 1/2" x 60 1/2", 10" x 10" block
As a quilter who loves applique, one of my favorite designers is Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill. She offers Rule the Roost.
Rules the Roose, 40 1/2" x 40 1/2", 8" x 8" chicken blocks
I wondered what it would be like to hand applique these Jelly Roll pieced hens. So I made a table topper with my precut strips of fabric which I keep in a bin.
I just loved it!
If you need more reasons to buy MODA All-Stars on a Roll, the royalties from the book are donated to School on Wheels which provides educational opportunities for homeless children.
That's a win-win for me
I received a free ebook from the publisher through Edelweiss in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

I have brought all of the Moda All-Star publications. Firstly because some of the money gets donated to homeless children - but the added bonus came to the fact that I really enjoy the interpretation that each designer gave to the challenge. This one is 21/2" strip by 14 quilts. I also like the bit of fun with the set questions put to designers.

Plenty of designs, easily followed, good mix, worthy
I liked the variety of colors and patterns. Cute short pieces of advice and useful tips were enjoyable. The book is put together like a well planned quilt. Good overall design plenty of substance and surprising fresh detail

There is a nice variety of quilts, a cute use of the phrase "on a roll" to tie it together, and my favorite part where each quilter answers questions by finishing a phrase, like "Don't roll your eyes, but...." Pick this one up for entertainment and inspiration.

All of these quilts start with 2 1/2 inch strips. To make any of these a rotary cutter and mat are a must. The book has beautiful displays of real quilts made with each pattern.
