I love jelly rolls. You might check into the books written just for 2 1/2 inch strips. Connecting Threads has two of my favorites! "Scrap Basket Surprises" and "Scrap Basket Sensations" Right now they are 30% off. The great thing about precuts is that you get the whole line of a fabric without having to buy the yardage. I love them but they are addictive....
