National Sew A Jelly Roll Day 2025! 

Every September, quilters across the country come together to celebrate National Sew A Jelly Roll Day, and 2025 is no exception! This year, the big day falls on Saturday, September 20th, 2025, and it’s the perfect excuse to open up those favorite Jelly Rolls you’ve been saving, gather with friends, and stitch up something beautiful.

Jelly Rolls—those colorful 2 1/2" precut fabric strips—make quilting faster, easier, and so much fun. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a simple project or an experienced quilter ready for a challenge, Jelly Rolls are the ultimate time-saver fabric precut that sparks endless creativity.

To help you celebrate, we’re excited to share three FREE quilt patterns from Moda that you can download and start sewing today. Each pattern is designed to showcase the beauty of a Moda Jelly Roll. The quilts can be enlarged by using a second Jelly Roll and adding more blocks.  Or make smaller projects such as runners, placemats, and pillows.
