That is an unusual size, but it sure would work! However, I would think you would have a better use for that much fabric! It would be a very big quilt top ... 4.5 x 40 = 180 inches divided by 36 = five yards of fabric? ... how good was your sale? Did you know you were buying five yards of fabric? <chatting cathy here <g>) LOL <wave>

I have control issues <g> if you cut the strips in half, then how do you line them up to start stitching them back together? I will have to try one of those, too! LOL <wave> of <g> you will upload a picture for us, eh?

I am unable to do any sewing at the present time due to surgery on my right rotator cuff and a split tear in the bicep tendon and other problems in the arm.......I have to type with index finger of my left hand....LOL As soon as I get back to sewing, I will post pix.

This is great! I've had 2 Xmas jelly rolls that I got back in '08 and had planned for this exact look for a bed quilt . . . only I figured I'd have to sew ends together, measure length, cut, then sew strips together, and repeat. Very time consuming. Wasn't looking forward to that and that's why I haven't done it yet. I LOVE how easy this will be to get exactly what I've pictured in my head for a long time now but in a quick and easy way. Thanks so much to you both for the written and pictorial tutes!

I've seen jelly rolls anywhere from 30 to 60 strips! Just look at the measurements before you buy.

Noooo, I didn't know I got such a good deal!! The pack was originally $12.95 with 60% off - $5.18 for the pack. Not bad!!
I haven't unrolled it yet to see what's in it. Well, guess what - I just opened it - there are only 17 pieces - not 40 - the package obviously was marked wrong - oh well, it's still a good deal. The pieces are each 4.5 x 40" - ah, that's where the 40 comes in. How long are the usual jelly roll pieces? I'll make this work somehow!
