I do my own. I have a lot of small pieces so cut them as I need them and how many I need, etc.

I've done a lap quilt using rail fence blocks from a jelly roll. One lap quilt using jacobs ladder blocks & a tumbler block wallhanging from charm packs. I love the charms, cakes & rolls. :)

Love both charm packs and jelly rolls. Charma packs make quick lap quilts, baby quilts, tote bags, placemats etc. Just finished a bed runner using a jelly roll. Enough left for a jelly roll tote bag or table runner, dresser runner. Let you imagination be your guide.

I haven't bought them, but received several jelly rolls & charms as gifts. I like making table toppers with the charms & sometimes use the jelly rolls as borders on miniatures.

One of the jelly rolls I purchased had 3 1/2 yds of fabric in it.

I love making things with these. They're so easy to use. I just bought some layer cakes as well to go with some jellies I also bought.

I belong to a strip club that uses 2 1/2" strips to make quilts. We use jelly rolls all the time. A good book that we have made several out of is Scrap Basket Surprise.
