    The "Perfect" Jelly Roll

    If you could imagine up the "Perfect" (for you) Jelly Roll, what would it be?

    How many strips would it have?

    What kind of fabric? Batik or regular cotton? Solids, blenders, or prints? Or a combination?

    For one thing, it wouldn't have two of anything. It would be 40 strips. They would all be wonderful pieces of fabric. Fabric I couldn't live without. It would be batik or regular cotton. If batik, it would have to be different, no so blendable. If cotton, I'd want bright and cheerful and prints.

    The "perfect jellyroll" would be a "perfect" 2 1/2" . 40 count, one of each color or print.

    a jewel tone set of batiks, including red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange with the addition of rose and gold.

    Several variations of each of those colors,, NO doubles

    I think I have bought only one jelly roll -- there are so many issues with them. The perfect jellyroll in my book would be a perfect 2.5" cut -- and they must be cut straight with no pinking and no wobbles in the strips. I prefer 40 in a package and would prefer unique cuts. I would prefer an assortment of strips in one color way with no two alike. I need to be able to see the pattern and color of each strip (don't like them rolled up).
