One really great advantage of jelly rolls is the variety of matching colors. The maker does all the work for you of finding 40 different colors. It makes my head hurt just thinking about chosing 40 colors. That is is you can find 40 colors with out driving all over the area!( but what fun that would be). I used a jelly roll of brights pinks/green and would never have thought of putting all those colors/patterns together (if I could have found them). .Alos consider cost. I feel bad asking for 1/4yr cut but even that may be too much for making some type of strip quilt. Jelly rolls are very cost effective!

It is so much fun to use a jelly roll for a simple quilt. I like to do something that I can complete in a short time and these provide that opportunity. No matter what you do with them, they turn out lovely. Try it, you will love it!

I use 2 1/2" strips a lot, but refuse to pay the price for jelly rolls. Yes, I have bought 3 jelly rolls but found that when I figured out the yardage the price was far more than if I had cut my own strips. I won't buy any more precuts unless they are on sale so I don't pay any more than the price per yard. Oh, and I hate the pinked edge on precuts as it makes it hard to get a consistent finished size.

I agree, way too many to try and name them all.

They come in such a variety of fabrics and colors and they are pre-cut for you. When I was at Eleanor Burns California store, I mentioned to a clerk that she had not come out with a book for jelly rolls, they were a couple of years old by then. The clerk said generally you can use them in most patterns. I found one of El's books and sure enough made a beautiful quilt. I think the best thing about them other than being pre-cut for you is that you get such a good variety of fabric. I generally ask if there are 40 different fabrics as some local quilt stores will put in duplicates of an ugly fabric (sorry, all you owners out there, but it has happened 3x now to me). I really like all the precuts out there.

There is a fun Craftsy class by Camille Roskelley called "Pre-cut Piecing Made Simple". I have the jelly roll! I am going to make a bed runner using the hashtag pattern

Wow I like those. What is that first one called? I was just imagining a bunch of strips sewn together. But these are impressive.

Thanks for all of the input. Going to have to start looking for jelly roll patterns.

Thank you for this, Feline Fanatic. I had no idea there were so many jelly roll patterns! I see some I'd like to make.
