Put simply, quilting jelly rolls are 2.5” fabric strips which come in an array of colors and prints. Depending on the manufacturer, jelly roll fabric packs include anywhere between 40 and 42 strips, totaling about 2.75 yards of fabric. These quilting fabric strips are typically rolled up and secured, hence the name "Jelly Roll." As you probably guessed, they're perfect for making beautiful jelly roll quilts!
