Well, I found out this week my 12 yr old mini me granddaughter loves jelly rolls & the jelly roll race quilts, my supply of jelly rolls is quickly disappearing so I don't have to worry about storing them-LOL

In my quilting room where the LA set up my DH has made for me,

using a 1914 Singer model 66 is,
he built two shelves about 6" wide and 3' long where I store my charm packs and jelly rolls.

Thanks. So far I have unrolled 2 trying to get them back into a roll was a challenge. Looking at storage on Amazon, I saw this long, narrow plastic box for 2.5" strips (it is the size of WOF folded). Has anyone tried them? I was thinking they might work for the ones I cut.
Tesspug, I wish I could crochet, but I am thinking that I could make a fabric box that is similar.
Cathvv -- I am saving my pennies for the electric Accuquilt -- maybe I will ask for it come Christmas.
I have some drawers in my closet that I think I will clean out and put the precuts in -- my organized self likes that. Our Dollar Tree has some plastic baskets -- maybe they will fit in the drawers to keep the charms organized.
Thanks for the ideas -- looking forward to hearing other ideas as well.

I agree with the measure your precuts. I had an older jelly roll I tried to mix with a new jelly roll. They were both Kaffe Fasset fabric. They were about 1/3 inch different in width. I found this our the hard way when I was trying to put things together. I had some ripping to do and I rearranged my planned design to save on unsewing.

I have to unwrap and look at all the fabrics, but I only unwrap enough to see the different patterns. Then I wrap it back up and secure it with the ribbon that came on it originally or a strip of scrap fabric. I store them in a plastic tub.
