Your First Quilt Made Easy: Start with a Jelly Roll, Layer Cake or Charm Pack
If you've always wanted to make your first quilt but weren't sure where to begin, pre-cut fabric packs are one of the easiest ways to get started.
Rather than choosing dozens of coordinating fabrics and cutting every piece yourself, pre-cuts do most of the hard work for you. They're already professionally cut, colour coordinated and designed to work together, meaning you can spend more time sewing and less time measuring.
Whether you choose a Jelly Roll, Layer Cake or Charm Pack, you'll be surprised how quickly your first quilt comes together.
Which pre-cut should you choose?
Jelly Rolls
A Jelly Roll contains approximately 40–42 fabric strips measuring 2½" x the width of fabric.
These are perfect for:
- Beginner-friendly strip quilts
- Modern geometric designs
Because the cutting has already been done, you simply start sewing strips together.

What is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a printing method that uses heat and pressure to transfer dye into a material, producing a permanent, full-color image. The process involves printing a design onto sublimation transfer paper using specialised sublimation ink. The paper is then placed onto the material to be printed and subjected to heat and pressure. During this process, the dye on the transfer paper sublimates, or turns from a solid into a gas, and then re-condenses back into a solid, bonding with the fibres of the material to produce a high-quality, vibrant image. The most common materials used for sublimation printing are fabrics made of polyester and other synthetic fibres.
What fabrics are suitable for sublimation printing?
For sublimation printing, fabrics made of polyester, or a blend of polyester and other synthetic fibers (such as polyester with spandex or elastane), are best suited as they allow the dye to penetrate the fibres, resulting in a long-lasting, vibrant image. Blends
