Jelly Rolls - a Quilting/Patchwork Term for Fabric
They are made up of 24 different fabrics or 2 x 12 colour lots.
Sometimes the rolls can be of bigger widths 3" or 4" and also more fabric strips. Check sales listings for details. The fabric is usually colour co-ordinated but can be varied. Materials usually equates anywhere from 1 metre to 2 metres of fabric. There are many names for the jelly roll depending on where they are made.
I call mine Pinwheels. This was an idea that came up in a discussion with a friend who owns a Fabric business, and who was having a stall at her first Quilt and Craft Show. Something a little different.
A jelly roll is a roll of fabric strips usually comprised of 24 x 2 1/2" widths by the width of the quilt fabric which is usually 112-115cm.
