Sorry about the issue of different sizes, but so happy you caught it. I've never bought jelly rolls, but could see the time saving point, especially with framing blocks. It still came out well and such a beautiful job with the colors.

Beautiful quilt! Sorry you had problems with the strips. I have to use precuts because of a back disability and they are perfect for me. However, I am particular about brands and have not had a real problem. The only minor complaint for me is the pinked edges...a straight cut would be nicer.

It turned out very pretty. I have one jelly roll and think I will use it by itself.

Very very nice and a great idea to cut one's own strips for uniformity .. Thanks for sharing

Great quilt, sorry you had such a big difference in the strips. However, I agree with jenOSU - I prefer to prewash my fabrics before using in a quilt, and I haven't been happy with the few precut strips and squares I have purchased in the past. I have so much fabric in my stash I can generally find what I want and cut it up - if I don't, oh well, a road trip to the fabric store is in order.
