I love the jelly roll quilts with the applique!!! I will have to remember that. I have done Yellow Brick Road as a background for applique before, but this would help use up the BINS of 2-1/2" strips that I have cut.
I cut my own 2-1/2" strips. My reasons are....I already have lots of fabric, use what I have.
Precut jelly roll strips are quite expensive. Jelly roll strips are not always accurately cut. Jelly roll strips can get too "matchy-matchy"...I like more of a variety of fabrics in my quilts.
