I am working with strips that were donated by a well renown manufacturer so I feel your pain. My strips vary from 1.25" to 1.75" so I am trying to find patterns that will work with such narrow strips. Looking forward to a photo when you are finished.

I actually did this recently with some cut yardage I had ordered. Some cuts were quite nice, but three were so grossly under quality that I was just too frustrated to take the hit and be quiet.
The shop refunded me, but were not happy to do so; too bad, I was not happy that I had shopped their site!
Neither of us will be bothered by the experience a second time.

Before Hoffman started using laser cutting, I found many of their Jelly rolls were not 2.5 inches. In fact, some were less than 2.25! Unfortunately, I found this out after I had sewed stacks of four patches. One rolls was fine, the next smaller....I was really frustrated.

I would let them know where you bought it that it's poorly cut & unsatisfactory. Also let us know what Company you bought from. We quilters have to stick together, & here's the place to get the word out.

I too would contact the seller/shop. Recently I ordered three sets of jelly rolls from Keepsake Quilting no less - several of the strips in each roll were "V" shapes (ie not perpendicular to the fold). They were fantastic to deal with - gave me the option of replacing all three sets. As it was a scrappy quilt I had them send me just one which was more than enough to finish.
You will never know unless you ask. Good luck - look forwarding to seeing your quilt.
