The "Perfect" Jelly Roll
#25
I have made jelly roll quilts. The perfect jelly roll for me would have 60 strips and 40 makes the quilt too small. No repeats. I would like bright modern prints. Nothing old fogey, civil war type stuff.

40 strips cut exactly for sure. If there are other numbers in the roll, it should have a clearly different name than Jelly Roll. I have come to think Jelly Roll = 40 2.5 strips.
Not to be a "stick in the mud" but I like 2-4 of each print, thank you very much. That way, you might be able to bind (creatively) with your strips as well, 'specially if you love a print set and buy more than one standard jelly roll.

* blenders suitable for binding four each in a roll of 40.......would be like a binding stash for the charity quilts for children
or could always buy two pkg. blenders suitable for binding, that would be usefull
But the number one most imprtant thing is accuracy 2.5 inches not more/not less for sure

Marketing... It makes the products sound sweet and desirable. Moda has a blog called the "Bake Shop" that gives ideas to use all the precuts,
Although I think a "jelly roll" is technically a term only for Moda brand. But it has become the common term kind of like Kleenex/Tissue. (Kauffman, for example calls theirs "roll ups". Connecting Threads just calls them strips.)
