I saw a chart recently that gave the number of yards in each precut: jellyroll, layer cake, charm pack, etc. but can't find it now (when I'd like to use it) and can't seem to find that information online. I know what they are, just want to know how many yards are in each without doing all the math. Has anyone seen such a chart? Thank you.

I just get paper and pencil out!

42-43" is 1 1/6 of a yard. So each piece of a jelly roll is that long.

10 x 10 is 100 square inches. A yard of 42" is 1512 sq. inches, so about 15 layer cake pieces equals a yard. You can't cut 15 out of a yard---but for square inches that would be the count.

Charms are 5" square, right? so that is 25 square inches. 4 of these make one 10" x 10" so 60 of them equal one yard. Again you can't cut them that way, but--------------

Or do you want the info this way.

A yard of fabric would yield 14 strips of a jelly roll----perfect cutting ------with a dab left over.

A yard of fabric would yield 4 across and 3 down layer cakes (12)-------with about 6" left over.

A yard of fabric would yield 8 charms across and 7 down or 56 charms with a inch left over if you're perfect.

And of course, 4 FQ's make a yard.

ALL BASED ON 42" wide fabric.

Tell me how many pieces are in each and I'll tell you how many yards.

Thank you this does help but the chart I was looking for gave the yardage in standard size precuts. For example x number of yards in a standard 42-squares layer cake. And it gave that information for all of the precuts. I believe it then went on to give the number of layer cakes, jelly rolls, etc. that you might need to make a baby quilt, lap quilt, etc.
I thought it came in an email but now that I think of it, it's possible that I saw it in preview pages for a quilt book on Amazon. Wish my memory was better!

I recall seeing that chart too. I have No idea where! Maybe someone else will recall where it was at.

You tell me how many pieces in each bunch and I'll tell you the yardage

Is it one of these?

As Grannie Annie implies, there is no standard number of strips or squares in a jelly roll, charm pack or layer cake, so you really can't give a yardage on a 'jelly roll'. Some have 20, some 40 or more. I know I've seen the reverse, how many charms can you cut from a yard of fabric...

I got this from Moda. There are other measurements listed too.

I thought I replied earlier but don't know what became of it. There are some great charts listed here but not the one that I saw. I did find the information when trying to search for a list of precuts but still haven't found the chart with the additional information. http://www.quiltwithmo.com/fabric-terms.htm
