    Default My last jelly roll quilt.

    I have officially sworn off buying jelly rolls. I had 3 and laid out some from each to make a jelly roll race quilt. Luckily before starting I noticed that some of the strips were 2 1/2" and some others were nearly 3". So I sorted them by size, made two race quilts that will go to Quilts for Kids and this larger one from the 3" strips. Next time I'll cut my own strips so I will have some uniformity.

    Anyway here is the larger one.

    Great colors. Sorry you had trouble with strips. We purchase jelly rolls to
    save time. . Your quilt turned out great

    I like to prewash my fabric so don't really like precuts. Your quilt is still gorgeous.

    very pretty! What a drag to have to deal with sizing issues, but glad you caught it before sewing things together.

    I have never purchased Jelly Rolls and now I may never after hearing about your problems. Do you think you should contact the manufacturer? I would be upset if it happened to me. Good for you for figuring out a way to "make lemonade".

    I love jelly rolls - I usually only purchase Moda, Riley Blake or Robert Kaufman - I've never had problems with any of them. Now my new addiction is Moda Scrap bags - they have jelly roll strips but some of them are 2 1/2" and others are up to 3" - just a grab bag of stuff - but its very inexpensive
