    The first two I would not buy, as it's hard to get a sense of what's inside. The Tonga Treasures is terrific and a picture like you have for the fourth is excellent. My only experience in buying a jelly roll type package was with the Stonehenge fabrics and they were packaged similar to the Tonga Treasures. Fabric is too expensive and my time too precious to spend either one buying something I can't see!

    Adding my vote to the stack! I've only bought jelly rolls in person at quilt shows - not by email, so my vote is skewed. I REALLY like sewing with them, though and seeing the stack next to the jelly rolls at a web site would make me more likely to buy them.

    The bolt view gives a great view of the fabrics! I hope the fabric companies are monitoring this board and see the suggestion!

    I think having the bolts of fabric next to the jelly roll is a great idea.

    I think showing the bolts with the jelly roll is a great thing - or show the charm squares of the same fabric.

    I, too, hate to purchase fabrics I can't see. I just go to Missouri Star Quilt Company because all their fabrics have a little thumbnail photo you can click on tho see what's in the collection.

    Great idea to show the bolts. If I'm shopping online I'd usually use Google image search for the name of the fabric line. The picture would save that bother.
