    Default Solid jelly roll by moda identification problem.

    I used 4 strips out of a jelly roll to start some sashing around my blocks. all 4 were the same color. I needed some more of this color and could not order online because I did not have the color of purple. I bought some Kona and it does not match so I have to start over. There is no way to ID the color out of strips from the jelly roll. I learned my lesson. I took a strip to Joann's yesterday and they don't carry it and either does hobby lobby.

    I think you have a valid point and I have had this type of experience when using strips. I have pretty much decided against precuts-unless the entire group is a single , frequently used color. I always wind up with more scraps than I do from yardage. Therefore, precuts become more expensive than yardage.

    I hate it when stuff like that happens. Do you remember the jelly roll collection? I did some searches on "moda solid jelly roll" and came up with a 30s package (and some others).

    From the Bella Solids line there are 3 purples, Missouri Star has the sku and apparently more yardage of Sweet Pea, Lotus and Dahlia if any of those work for you.

    If you ever have the opportunity, do invest in color charts from your most used manufacturers, I have them for Moda, Moda Grunge, Lava Batiks, and Kona solids. They have been a life saver when trying to match colors, I do wish the swatches were as big as the Grunge Line swatches though, those are the best size IMHO. I hope you’re able to find your matching fabric.

    I never buy precuts of anything. That way I shop my stash and usually have more than enough fabric for whatever I need.

    Suzanne--I recommend sending a snipet of your purple moda (are your strips from Moda's Bella line?) to Hancocks of Paducah or to MSQC and ask them to try to match it--both H-P and MSQC offer quite a few colors in the Bella line. I have been in your predicament myself--Good Luck!

    For me personally when I buy a jelly roll I generally buy my favorites from the line. For example if I really like some I'll get anywhere from a half yard to a yard. Used to be a lot easier to do when Hancock's of Paducah let you order a minimum of a half yard from there sale fabrics. I have 2 jelly rolls that are solids I can't remember the name right off the top of my head but I pretty much had yardage of what I wanted but have since used up almost all the yardage! Do you know what the name of the line is?
