I love pre-cuts. Yes, I always look at the other fabrics because you are right, they do slip some uglies in the roll. As someone already commented, go to Missouri Star and see if the jelly roll is there because then you can look at all of the line. I have bought jelly rolls from vendors and they are sneaky sometimes. I always ask first if there are doubles in the roll and then I kind of flip through it to see if I like it. Jelly rolls are very easy to use and the quilt can be made much faster without all that cutting and ironing. My humble opinion.
