Talking of naming them desserts, did you know the older phones are called "candy bars"....

Seems the "dessert" idea crosses mediums....Hmmmmm

I love jelly rolls but they're v expensive here.

LOVE 'EM I am not always confedent about my color choices and they give me a great palette to start with.

Here is a picture of one I am doing with a honey bun (1 1/2in) strips. Same as jelly roll but smaller width strips. Need to add boarders.

Here is a quilt I made for a friend from a jelly roll--if I remember right, I cut a few strips from my stash, too. But it was all done with 2 1/2" strips.

I love this board - anything you want to know (subject), even if you didn't know you wanted to know about it. This is the first time I have gotten my feet wet over the subject of jelly rolls - and you are right, the ladies at Missouri make things look so easy - and "logical," like the jelly roll tubes to make the squares. They make it look so relaxing and fun!

They have some neat books that tell what you can do with them. :)

There are lots of patterns for jelly rolls - they save you having to cut strips and I would buy them if they were not so expensive. Moda Bake Shop has some patterns.

This is one of my favorite quilts to sew up quickly. You can easily make it in an afternoon.

I'm smack dab in the middle of one of the super fast jelly roll quilts where you just keep sewing them together until it's done. Found the idea on here! It is fast if not a little boring but I like the way it's turning out. I just can't stay focused enough to finish in one sitting- but that's a persoanl problem. It would be easy to do!
