Hey folks. I've been completely fascinated by the jelly roll race quilt ever since I first saw it. I recently got some fat quarter packs from thousands of bolts (a site I and my wallet would never have heard about without you people ), and want to cut mini jelly roll strips from the FQs to make this top with. I haven't decided if I'd cut the strips from the 18" or 22" length. Here's what I'm wondering: Do I still need to cut off some of the strip to start? My brain tells me no, as long as the final width of the quilt isn't a multiple of the length of the individual strips. But my brain can't always be listened to, so here I am. Any thoughts, quilt geniuses?
