    Anywhere from 40 to 400 cream/beige/vanilla pudding/soft butter/rice krispy squares/ kind of colors.
    Because you never have enough of those.

    What do you think?
    I like that concept , aren't some manufactures doing this? I thought I saw some smaller jelly rolls.
    It would be nice if at least a few of the fabrics in the roll had a easy way to order yardage to go with the jelly roll. I am typically looking for yardage to go with in either the lightest or darkest color in the jelly roll. This is a particular issue with batiks. ...or at least list on the package what the manufactures numbers are so if I really want yardage of one I can have some starting point for the search.

    Moda is doing a junior jelly roll of their "Simply Color" group - it's all the ombres, and it is 21 strips, 3 each of the seven ombres in the line.

    Not exactly what's being suggested here, which is each strip should be unique.

    I don't know if any other manufacturers are doing smaller JRs...

    400 is a lot, Carole, did you stop to have lunch yet today?

    Maybe you're hungry... :-)

    my 'perfect' jelly roll would have straight-cut edges (not pinked), and actually measure 2½" ... all 20 strips different (there are usually not even 20 fabrics in a 'collection.

    I would like 40 strips, perfectly cut to 2 1/2" and I would LOVE for them to be a white on white fabric, all 40 strips the same print! I use a lot of WOW and I feel lazy sometimes!

    Jr. Jelly rolls sounds like a good idea. Some fabric lines do not have 40 different prints/colors in them. My personal favorites would be floral pastels like Princess Rose or the Anew line by Lecien among others.

    A perfect jelly roll would be 40 strips with no doubles. All the fabrics would be bright cheerful 30's prints. And the fabric would feel wonderful. I do have a jelly roll with 30's prints, but she snuck some doubles in there and they are totally ugly !! I felt really cheated when I got home and opened them to check them out. Sure cost me a pretty penny for those ugly Men's underwear type fabrics (my Mother made me iron my stepfather's boxers in the 1960's).

    I like the idea of 40 different fabrics. I am usually drawn to batiks, but I would love to see 40 different bright florals that all look great together, for a beautiful scrappy log cabin quilt!
