National Sew A Jelly Roll Day 2026! 

Jelly Roll Day

Get ready to roll into something amazing!  National Jelly Roll Day is September 19th, and it’s the perfect excuse to celebrate those irresistible bundles of 2 1/2" fabric strips that quilters love.  Bursting with coordinated colors, prints, and possibilities, Jelly Rolls make it easy to turn beautiful fabric into quilts that are fast, fun, and full of personality.

National Jelly Roll Day is all about the joy of quilting, choosing a favorite Jelly Roll, discovering an inspiring pattern, and watching those colorful strips come together stitch by stitch.  Whether you’re starting a new project, finishing a treasured quilt, or gathering with quilting friends for a day of sewing, September 19th is a wonderful time to celebrate creativity and the quilting community.

So clear a little space at the sewing machine, pick out a Jelly Roll you’ve been saving, and join the fun!  September 19th is the day to unroll, sew, create, and celebrate with Moda Fabrics.  A single Jelly Roll can hold the beginning of your next favorite quilt!
