Why would you want them to have that particular relationship, of sewing two together to get the other? I love them at 2.5 inches wide.

It has puzzled me that the jelly rolls are 2.5 inches wide and the charm squares are 5 inches wide.
When the squares are 5 inches wide, it takes two strips 2.75 inches wide sewn together (1/4 inch seam) to equal 5 inches.
Two strips 2.5 inches wide sewn together (1/4 inch seam) end up being only 4.5 inches wide.
