What Can You Cut From Jelly Roll Strips?
Print This Chart and Keep It Handy!
Jelly roll strips, those pre-cut 2 1/2″ strips of fabric, are so handy. They can save a lot of time and many quilt patterns have been developed to take advantage of them.
Plus, a roll of forty 42-45″ strips is color coordinated, saving you time and uncertainty in fabric selection.
