I just want sites and catalogs to put the measurements on the pages with all these newly titled cuts of fabrics for those of us who don't know what in the world they are talking about. they might make more sales that way! :D

Didn't see any mention of candy bars on the Moda Bakeshop page.

I had made several quilts w/ jelly rolls & no matter how careful I was - had a stretch problem. At my quilt store it was mentioned to me that sew from the top down on one strip and then from the bottom up on the next one and guess what - it really helped!

It is 35"to 45"strips of different color patterns of material about 2" or 3" wide. Each jelly roll colors blend with each other. they are great and you can use them in so many different ways. I use them to make some totes and purses in wild color combinations. try them you can create so many things besides quilts. barbara Pa. .

Think about it......sew a long seam, it stretches......sew the next seam in the same directions, it stretches a bit more. Sigh....I saved the quilt by cutting any flat piece I could find with a six inch square and then used the squares to make a different quilt. I even saved a piece of the original strrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttched bargello to remind me! One up......second, down....third up.....fourth, down ...etc....
