I had never heard of the Jelly Roll until coming to this forum. Also have not seen them other than pictures. I was thinking of making my own but have some ?s. Approx. how long are the strips and how wide? How many in a roll and how many rolls too make a quilt? Sorry I sound so stupid. How else does one learn?

They are 2 1/2" wide and they are cut from selvedge to selvedge.
You sure can cut your own :D I am cutting some to go with a jelly roll that I bought :D:D:D |
Marge, same here and now I am finding out many,many things I never knew :D
You can make your own. The Moda line makes them. They are the width of the fabric (usually 45 in) and you cut them in 2 inch strips. I was thinking of making some too. I've bought them and they are so much fun to work with. You can make as many as you wish. I think Moda's are 40 strips- something like that. Joann's also has them but I haven't bought any. |
Oops, that's right-2 1/2inches- sorry!
|
You will have fun with your stripes. I thought about cutting all my stash into 2 1/2in stripes. Luckily I haven't had time. Lol
|
Thanks all of you. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm running out of storage and thought it would help to downsize. Then I can buy some more, huh. LOL

Yes, the nice thing about jellyrolls is they are all different but all blend.
|
some jelly rolls are 20 to a roll of 1 1/2"
Be sure before you buy which ones you are getting.Does anybody have patterns to share using these rolls? |
You can get honey buns which are smaller roll and the jelly rolls.
I bought a book for jelly rolls but you can find free patterns on www.modabakeshop.com. Lots of projects there. Suzanne |
