When I received my studio cutter that was the first die 2.5 strips. One day after thanksgiving I went to walmart and they had these handle totes with orange/green tops clear bottoms for 1.00 each (they sell at joanns 6.00 each) took 20 of them.They stack and store well all my jellies/honeybuns etc. go into them. I love strip patterns and www.cozyquiltdesign is a great strip pattern shop.

Just a plug, Look up BONNIE K.HUNTER. quilter ; on website Tons of ideas for scrap quilts, managing scrap fabrics, how to store , cut and use your leftover fabric, patterns for free, ect..... you will not be disappointed for taking your time and checking out her site. She is an author of a few quilting books. Writes articles for a very nice quilting magazine. I have checked out two of her books from our
libraries inter library loan system. Wonderful books. Check her out.
Once you have your 'own' jelly rolls cut, she will provide ideas in how to use them up in a frugal way of sewing. They probably won't be sitting in the pretty baskets.They will be crying out to be your next quilt....

Even though I like some of the books for precuts, other than an occasional charm pack, I usually cut my own. I did buy a Turnover pk. on sale recently & am playing with it now, cutting each triangle in half, by the way. Doing some star blocks, with all triangles, adding some tone on tone cream for background, & they are turning out pretty!... Not worth, in my mind, or pocketbook, to pay full price for most of these precut packs though!...
