Hi There!
Jelly Rolls!!! We all love ‘em and just HAVE to have ‘em but what do you DO with ‘em, once you get home?!?!?
Well, here’s some Jelly Roll information gleaned from 1 of my magazines, that might get you inspired.
Modo coined the name “Jelly Roll”. Other companies now do them but have their own special name for them.
A Jelly Roll will typically have 2-3/4 yards of fabric.
A Jelly Roll, with additional fabric for background, can make a Lap Quilt.
The 1,600 Jelly Roll Quilt uses 40 strips, for a total of 1,600 inches long.
