If using a jelly roll, cut maybe a third in half, and another third in thirds and rat full length...mix up and grab and sew....also look at on Pinterest - jelly roll Quilts for some ideas...I like the one that has a vertical insert of staggered flying geese added after strips are sewn together....

Plenty of fabrics coordinate without being part of the same line.

Jelly Rolls that are supposed to be 2 1/2 inches wide have come to me cut very wrong. I still have one mess I am trying to deal with. I had bought it on ebay from an individual. Check it if you buy the roll.

I cut my own from my scraps and it is amazing how they go toghether and look good even though seperate they are questionable. I use them a lot to make my project linus quilts. The more colorful the better.

Here is one that I made, using up my scraps. (just disregard the stars
