What Is a Jelly Roll?
A Jelly Roll is a coordinated bundle of precut fabric strips, typically measuring 2.5 inches wide by the width of fabric. A bundle commonly contains around 40 strips, although the exact number can vary by collection and manufacturer. Because the fabrics are already coordinated and cut into consistent strips, Jelly Rolls are especially convenient for strip piecing, patchwork, and other precut-friendly quilt designs.
