I just don't understand why people have so many problems with jelly rolls that have pinked edges? I only buy the ones with the pinked edges because I hate the frayed edges. When I sew using them I am just consistent with where I sew from. I love the card trick block and will be making it as my next quilt, but I think it's a mistake to tie it in my opinion. I think it may finish up to be one of your favorites!
