I've not purchased jelly rolls but have heard that the cuts can sometimes be 'off', you did a great job with this quilt, love it!

Really nice looking quilt. love the colors. I cut my own strips because of this very situation happening to me in the past. Some were wider than others and some not as long varying from 1-3 inches. That was before pre-washing. I usually take a safety pin and pin 4-5 strips together end to end by folding then put into lingerie bag. They don't tangle up.

Very pretty quilt. I have had issues with the batiks, since they are handcut. I didn't realize other fabrics were an issue. I've bought Moda jelly rolls and honey rolls with no problems.

Very nice quilt. I love the jelly rolls. Just finished one in the black and tan batiks for my nephew and love it.

I would call them to let them know. They might send you a new roll to make up for it tho.... ha ha! Just what you need is another Jelly Roll!

Thank you all for your very nice comments. I do have to confess that I unwrapped and threw away the ID info almost 6 months ago so I have no idea what brand these strips were. <Lesson learned!> I think 2 of the 3 were one brand. Interesting that batiks can be more problematic and all 3 of these jelly rolls were batiks.

So sorry your experience wasn't positive. I no longer purchase pre-cuts for that very reason, and I too pre-shrink my fabrics before using.
