Why Did I Buy that Jelly Roll? – May Date TBC

Have you ever bought one of these lovely Jelly Rolls and then wondered what the heck

to do with it? And even worse, when you look at a pattern for a JR, it also needs yards and yards of extra fabric, or you have to cut the strips into thousands of little squares or triangles! This is your day! I have designed quite a few different options, all of which just use ONE Jelly Roll. We look at how to pick a good design and how to put it together.
