Things I have learned

  • Once you unroll the

jelly roll, you can’t make it go back.

  • Unroll/open a jelly roll
  • utside. Shake it!
  • Watch your ¼” seam—

a jelly roll project is deceptively easy. Seam guides are helpful.

SLIDE 15

More things I have learned

  • Check strip width
  • Don’t save it too
  • long. Use it while

you love it!

  • Buy fabric to go with

the jelly roll. Think

  • f borders and

binding.
