Recently I found an online store that just sells jelly rolls. I'm like you in two respects... a jelly roll quilt in my future (I can't remember the name of it -- the pattern is buried in my studio someplace -- it's the kinda diagonal stripes one) & this board is messing with my resolution (the one about getting some stuff done -- the one about "no fabric buying until I use some of mine up" is LONG broken... LOL).

But i have had a grand time stitching the l-o-n-g strips together and rolling into balls.
Making rag rugs were the thing to do in years gone by.....a way to us up old clothing and worn sheets.
Getting back to basics is what I call it. Waste not - want not. So the box is about empty and i have some new rugs.

Can't think of anything right now. Locally the jeans quilts seem to be making a comeback though. The ones where you cut squares of jeans, squares of backing and square of thin cotton batting, layer and sew a 1"seam to the outside and clip the seams.
