i've been using whats called "strip it" fabric. its basically a jelly roll across the width of the fabric.

each strip is 2.5 each and its different designs.

there are only a few blocks/triangles where the 2.5 each size is just to small to cover the sections like block D6 for example.

so if you have some FQs or yardage for these few blocks you'll be fine to buy the rest in jelly rolls.

i am doing my jane in 2 focus fabric colors (red & white) i have 2 yards of non jelly type fabric in each color for a total of 4 yards.

this should be enough to use in the blocks that aren't jelly roll friendly.
