I'm such a newbie...I had to go to ebay just so I could see what the heck a jelly roll is!!! But now, thanks to y'all I know I'm alive cause I learned something new today!! We always made our own rolls like that...but for braided rugs not quilting...I can see how they would be handy...but I'm very anti paying for something I can do for free. Thanks for the lesson folks!!! You are all so very much appreciated!! I'm biding my time on the frugal front...I have a heads up on a garage sale this Friday with "tons of yarn and fabric". I'd like to say I wish I could bring y'all with me...but hey I'm not as quick as I use to be and I don't need that much competition :wink:
