Who actually cuts their "own" jelly rolls?
#71
With the pinwheel project, I had some Moda charm packs and I needed some plain white. I bought Moda's white charms and they were not quite the same size as my printed ones. I would have thought they would have been the same. Learned a lesson....from now on I think I will be cutting my own.

Hi rntraveler.I only pre cut a few jelly roll strips because I use them a lot.Other sizes & shapes are cut as needed.Found I didn't use many charms, so don't pre cut them or the 10" sqs either.It's all in the size/shapes we use.

Thank you. I went shopping yesterday and found that some charm packs held more than others. This comfused me as to why they wouldn't all have had the same no. of squares, It would seem that when pattern called for a charm pack or two, you will either be short or have too many for the project.
Most jelly rolls have 40-42 strips (Modas) and I think all their charm packs have 42 squares now. Some of their previous ones had less.
Other manuf. vary a lot, from 20 charm sq to 40 etc Don't know about other strips/rolls

As well as, how many blocks are in a charm pack?

It's a great idea. Do the same for Blocks from scraps. A group of my quilting friends got together and had a potluck strip party one summer. 14 of us brought 25 2 1/2 strips and place them on a rack and after dinner, we pick out 25 of the ones we liked.
