What size Worm?
#11
In this Forum, I found this:
Now, you may be asking yourself, “What in the world do noodles have to do with quilting and what is a fabric noodle?”. Simply said, a fabric noodle a strip of fabric that is the length of the measurement of the width of the fabric (WOF). In other words, a 2.5″ noodle would be a strip that was 2.5″ wide by the WOF, which usually ranges between 40″ - 44″.
So, I've decided a worm could be 2.5" x 1/2 the WOF.
(Personally, I don't like the term worm either, but I'm doing what the leader wants.)

Here is what I found after a search
This book uses 2 ½” strips of fabric to make each of the quilts, and you will find 8 different patterns in the book. This is a great way to use some of those fabrics you already have in your stash, or there are now fabric bundles of 2½” strips that you can purchase. Some people call them “Jelly Rolls” or “Worms”, if you are looking for them at a Hancock Fabrics store, they are called “Noodles”.

What's with the worms? Just when I got used to the quilting world "menu" (layer cakes, jelly rolls, Honey buns, Turnovers - you name it) some entomologist gets their dander up and introduces bugs.
I vote for noodles. Vermiceli (1"), Fettucini (2"), Lasagna (pinked 2" ;) ), and Ravioli (squares!). And all our mistakes can be meatballs.

Debbie Caffrey's first strip book was Open a Can of Worms and is for 2-1/2" Strips. Her second book for strips was Noodle Soup, and is for 2" strips. I have used both of the books and her patterns are great!
