I have never bought a jelly roll, but am intrigued by the possibilities. I find myself looking at different websites and envisioning what fun some of the jelly rolls would be made up into one of those quilts. Think I'll try it - most jelly rolls are 20-30 dollars and would make a nice size lap quilt. Sometimes you just need to do a project that is kind of a "no brainer." I knit and cross-stitch too and sometimes find it very relaxing to do an easy project that doesn't need too much concentration.
