What's the jelly roll??You stack fabric on the rolled edge (or fold)...stack as many as you can and still roll them like a jelly roll so you see the folded edge....then take that jelly roll outside....if you don't see a color that is going to pop at you immed....or one that sticks out like a sore thumb...then it is a 'go'...:)make sense???One that won't work will just sit and stare at you inthis pile...so, you pull it out right then..It works great!!! And, w/all your color choices Marcia....the colors and patterns bring out a rich texture!! It will look super!! JMHO...>Skeat
