That's a good point! If you need the pre-cut fabric to stay that exact size for the pattern you're using, then maybe you shouldn't pre-wash. With the jelly roll I used, it turned out that the width of the strips was not affected enough by washing to cause me problems, and I was still able to use them as 2 1/2" strips.
