Sushi Rolls from Lecien Fabrics

If you haven't seen or tried them yet, we've got some fun stuff to show you today! We mentioned them briefly during our last stint at Fall Market, but they've been lurking discreetly in the shadows of Fat Quarter Shop until today. We're showing them off to the whole quilting world -- with giveaways to boot!

Sushi Rolls are the cutest pre-cut additions to the Lecien Fabrics family, and out of this variety of six, every quilter is sure to find a necessary addition to her fabric stash. Whether it be a basic, floral, or cutesy (kawaii) print, think Sushi Rolls! (Did I just make you hungry? Sorry!) What's more, you can click to view different sides of the roll, so you'll know exactly what's included!

These Sushi Rolls contain 100% cotton fabric strips 2 7/8" wide, great for smaller-pieced quilt and sewing projects. Blue and Red Minny Muu Sushi Rolls feature itty bitty children's prints -- think sailors, teddy bears, polka dots, daisies -- baby quilts worldwide rejoice!

Le Petit Jardin Sushi Roll features a wide range of little floral prints in yellows, browns, blues, pinks, and creams, as well as dots and checks. It's sophisticated vintage in bright, fun hues! (See that top image up there!) If you've got a fetish for Lecien floral collections, like Mrs. March Antique Rose and Antique Flower Collection, this is the roll for you!

And finally, Lecien gives us three "Quilter's Basic" Sushi Rolls -- Primitive Quilter's Basic, Bright Quilter's Basic, and Prairie Quilter's Basic. They all use the same ditsy flowers, checks, and dotted swirl prints, but in three different colorways. Simply look around to find the one that suits your taste.

Now for the fun part -- we've got some lovely personal news at Fat Quarter Shop to share! Comment with a guess as to what it is, and we'll pick three random winners on Monday, March 2, to receive a Sushi Roll of their choice! Good luck, and happy Friday!

(P.S. I don't know why they are that size, Chooky Blue -- you'd have to ask them! LOL)

  3. I think most folks are going to guess that someone's expecting a new baby! :D Also, what a great idea...sushi rolls! Now I want sushi for lunch. Mmmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Must be a new baby on the way! These are pretty exciting though, too!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Guess I'm not the first to guess a new baby, hmmm? ;-) And those sushi rolls are gorgeous! Definitely a much better idea than the raw fish kind!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Ditto on the baby comment... I was @ Disneyland on Monday, and I could swear there was something in the water, because there were a LOT of preggo women walking around the parks. It just seems to be that time... I heard something about how people tend to have babies during economic recessions, so that could explain it.

  7. Another guess for a new baby on the way. :) BTW, I just rec'd my first ever FQS order and I was floored with the quality of how my order was packed, the envelope the receipt was in. Thank you so much - I love FQS and will be back shopping again very soon! :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. My guess is that Emma is going to be a big sister!!! That would be terrific!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yes, yes... new sibling for Emma. Though it could be you are coming out with your own fabric line? I'm thinking you gals at FQS would probably know exactly what quilters would want to see next... since you sell so many great fabric lines...AND sushi rolls!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  12. sorry me again

  20. Somebody won publisher's clearing house???

    ReplyDelete
  21. New car! I vote for a new car.. Heh the baby comment is overrated!! Although a baby for the new car would be nice too!
    Just a guess ;)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hmmm, I guess I will go with the consensus of the other posts and say a new baby. Is Emma going to be an older sister?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh BABY ..... I think Emma is going to be a big sister!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wow everyone has guessed my guess! I think Emma is getting abrother or Sister!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The sushi rolls are so fun! My guess about your news is a baby brother or sister for Miss Emma?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would think the best personal news would be a new baby on the way. I know that expecting my very first grandchild is the best thing for me, so I guess everyone should have a new baby to love.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I am adding to the NEW BABY tally...

    I want one of these rolls soooooooooo bad!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I realize it's not original, but that's the first thing I thought, so I'll go with new baby as well...

    Love (love!) the new sushi rolls... I need one (or two or three!) for my stash!

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  29. It seems we all have the same guess! My first thought was a baby on the way!

    I adore the Lucien florals! Drool-worthy!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Is Kim by chance going to have another baby? Looks like everyone else was thinking the same thing I did.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Add me to the list of is there a new baby on the way? :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  46. Like most everyone else, I'm guessing a sibling for Emma! Whatever the news, Congrats! Sushi rolls? What next!?

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm guessing like everyone else,new baby. Or maybe a pet!

    I think the rolls are 2 7/8 for half square triangle cutting?

    ReplyDelete
  48. I guess a new baby. Or wait, that puppy! ;0(

    ReplyDelete
  49. Either a baby or you're opening a brick and mortar store.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ooooh!! though I am not alone in my 'hunch'...the first thing that came to mind is a new little pea in the pod. Are you?!?! We want to know! C'mon, the suspense is awful!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I would guess a new baby as well, or maybe buying a new home? I'm happy for you, whatever the good news!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Babies are so lovely, so that's what I guess! :) :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm going with the vast majority (or is it unanimous)? Kimberly is pregnant!

    ReplyDelete
  54. My guess is that someone is craving Sushi and there's a new baby on the way for the Jolly family.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm gonna guess the obvious as well. There must be a baby on the way! Thank you for the opportunity to win a Sushi Roll. They look like fun.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Well, it seems everyone has suggested a new baby! So my guess is going to be...someone is getting married!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Oh, a hard choice, but I'm going to guess an Engagement?

    ReplyDelete
  58. My very first thought was a new baby, perhaps two???
    Alison

    ReplyDelete
  59. What could be more personally lovely than a baby? Yep, that's my guess! Just like most of the other 64 commenters who came before me! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hi!
    Maybe the Sushi Rolls are 2 7/8 to make sure that you can make 2.5" HSTs without a fancy ruler? (And trim down the roll for squares) Just a guess...
    But I'm not that good in guessing...so I'd joing the million others and I'd say there's probably a new sibling for Emma on his/her way...?
    Have a great weekend,
    Julia

    ReplyDelete
  61. Considering "personal news" I would think it would be baby as well, However how about a spin on this "TWINS" wouldn't Emma have fun!! Congrats if this is the case, if it isn't boy we all think there should be!!! hehe. LOVEEEEE the sushi oh my gosh, just think they can be use to make have square. At least it seems all my Classes&BOM lately need 2 7/8. I am happy that they will be at Fat Quarter Shop!!!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm going with new baby. It seems to be a popular guess!

    ReplyDelete
  63. MMMMM..... Sushi made my most favorite way... in fabric! Love them! I bet the good news is a new baby brother or sister for Emma is on the way. What else could it possibly be??

    ReplyDelete
  64. yup I was going to guess a new baby too! What CUTE sushi rolls!!! Are you going to do egg rolls next? maybe cinnamin rolls? Tootsie rolls? are you inspried yet???

    ReplyDelete
  65. Well the only thing that could be lovely personal news is a baby coming? I love the little prints on these rolls.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Just to be different I'll say "It"s a Puppy", ok it's probably a baby.

  67. There's no better news than a baby! But any happy news is great!!! Beautiful fabrics - pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Well, I am answering as soon as this came thru my computer, but see I might be a tad late....my first guess would be of course the pitter patter of little feet, a baby?? Yes..... so maybe a new puppy too??? LOL!!!

    My guess also for why the size of Sushi rolls - so you can cut them up and and make half square triangles??? This would give us half the work of cutting done.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Emma is going to be the BIG SISTER!!!!!
    Would be lovely......
    Hugs, Barb

    ReplyDelete
  70. I'm thinking a new future "quilter" is on the way? Could that be the happy news??

    ReplyDelete
  71. I guess my thought was the same as everyone else's... Emma is going to get a new baby sibling!

    And I love these sushi rolls. I think the Bright Quilter's Basic is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I see a new baby in the future!! a new Quilter I hope.

    ReplyDelete
  73. hmmm, could be a new baby! but, it could also be a new house, or an engagement...maybe your adding a member to your team at Fat Quarter Shop, or designing your own fabric??? All of it is so exciting, I can't wait to find out!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I think I'm disqualified from 'guessing' (!) ;o)
    - but could it be that the Lecien Sushi rolls are 2 7/8" wide - because the yardage is 'packaged' by the meter? . . . & maybe this measurement works best with dividing a meter? . . . Just a thought!
    xo, Bren

    ReplyDelete
  75. I see so many have commented before me and are guessing what first came to mind.. a new baby. BUT, personal could mean more.. an engagement, a special birthday, anniversary, or even a relocation..Can't wait to hear the news.. I love jelly rolls, I am sure there will be place to stack a few pieces of shushi!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I guess I am the @ 81st customer to guess it's a 'baby on the way'?? My second guess is that FQS is expanding?? BTW, L-O-V-E teh website...& L-O-V-E Lecien fabrics too!

    ReplyDelete
  77. ....thinking pink or blue and pitterpats of baby feet???? Thanks for the chance to win some sushi.....is that a pregnancy craving????? XXX Annelies

    ReplyDelete
  78. Perhaps a new baby---either biological or new to shop. Either would be a joy for you.
    Best wishes.

    ReplyDelete
  79. New baby? Or someone's getting married? :O)

    ReplyDelete
  80. maybe a baby or a marriage???

    ReplyDelete
  81. New baby or grandbaby?? Maybe just a new puppy... :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm not going to be original either because new baby is my geuss too :-)

    These rolls are so beautifull.. really hope to win.

    ReplyDelete
  85. OOps..... Have no idea why I receive such a wierd display name in my messages.
    Will have to check up my openID settings.

    In any case my name is Sharon Rotem.

    Thanks Again,
    Sharon

    ReplyDelete
  86. Well, I haven't been reading long, so I don't know much about who runs this blog. Since everyone else has guessed a baby, how about a vacation coming up?!

    Thanks for the fun giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I think I hear the pitter patter of little NEW feet!?!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I was thinking Emma would love to be a big sister...could that be the news? By the way, Lecien has always been one of my favorites, would love to win any of those yummy sushi rolls!

    ReplyDelete
  89. A new baby seems to be the answer of the week ..

    ReplyDelete
  90. I'm guessing that Emma has a new brother or sister on the way or perhaps both.
    Unless your are expanding your business or there is a marriage, retirement or some other happy occasion coming up.
    Whatever it is I love your site, your fabrics, and all the helpful information and service you provide along with the recipes.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I think you are giving Emma a new brother or sister! What could be more exciting that adding a new little one to your stash?

    ReplyDelete
  92. A new baby/employee is my guess. I'd LOVE to get my hands on some of those Sushi Rolls. My theory is that they're cut that way so it's easier for the mathaphobic among us to cut HSTs easier.

    ReplyDelete
  93. hmmm, I go also for the new baby, as a lot of others
    I just love the mini moo sushi

    ReplyDelete
  94. Everyone has the same answer,(of course I do) so here's the second guess. She won the lottery of one billion, so she will share to us???
    Sushi Rolls are wonderful! Especilly Quilter's Basic will match well to other fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm guessing baby... but I'm pregnant and so excited, so I see babies everywhere!!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. So many seem sure it's a baby. I was thinking along the lines of a new fabric line/manufactorer you were going to carry...?

    ReplyDelete
  97. Have three little ones myself...I vote for a puppy! But I guess I have to go with the crowd on this one. A BROTHER for Emma!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I just want you to know that I thought it was a new baby before I read any of the comments :)...Congrats, if that's right...Katie

    ReplyDelete
  99. Emma is going to be a big sister? But, that's what everyone else seems to be quessing too.

    Or its time for Emma's next birthday?

    ha ha it's all about Emma, isn't it?,

    ReplyDelete
  100. It looks like I'm not alone in thinking pink or blue. Congratulations if you're sewing baby quilts.

    Anne

    ReplyDelete
  101. My original guess was, baby. But everyone said that and I just can't think of anything else so I am going with baby.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Maybe someone got engaged?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Yes, A new baby would be a wonderful thing. Perhaps someone is going to be a grandma as well.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I know!!!
    Twins for Kimberly!!!
    -Sue Shepherd

    ReplyDelete
  105. Hmm.... could it be there's a new "bundle" on the way to the Jolly Jabber? A boy bundle? (and I'm not talking about fabric!)

    ReplyDelete
  106. And I bet the rolls are 2 7/8" to help with cutting 2" finished half-square triangles!

    ReplyDelete
  107. A new baby? A new pattern design for Sushi Rolls? Both, would be nice.

    ReplyDelete
  108. My guess is a new baby... but everyone is thinking same... so maybe you are expanding the store because look how many comments you have already!

    ReplyDelete
  109. I think the only real guess would be a new baby! Have to agree with the masses!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Baby Jolly redux. (And if so, congratulations!)

    If you're taking orders, can we get a brother for Emma? I have so many more boys to sew for than girls, and it will be great to see some of your fabulous quilting friends turn their creative mind to boy colours! (Clearly your lovely personal news is all about me!)

    I'm still not clear on sushi rolls (it's just me, isn't it?) Are these still width of fabric rolls, or are they shorter?)

    ReplyDelete
  119. I think that it might be addition to the family...

    ReplyDelete
