I've made an around the world quilt from the jelly rolls stich the strips together then make a tube & cut . next pick the color you want to start with & seperate the top from the bottom you have your first row continue moving down a square each time until the end of tube. Do this in four sections then do the middle section fast & easy

I like the charm packs and have used them in the past, but now if I have enough left-over fabric from a project, I'll go ahead and cut 5" squares. Then they go in a box for another project for another day!

I am hooked on jelly rolls and have made several quilts with them. It would take me forever to find so many fabrics that blend! I always buy Moda they are always very accurate.I want to make the 10minute blocks with the layer cakes. Looks like a very quick quilt!

Personally I would rather buy yardage. I believe the precut fabrics are more expensive. Buying yardage allows me to add to my stash.

I LOVE THEM...they make life so much easier when you need to make a quick quilt or you want to make a quilt using all the fabrics from a certain line...they usually have all the fabrics from one line and it looks beautiful....I have tons of them and I also make my own sometimes from fabrics I have left....try it..you'll love it..blessings
