Hi everyone....

I guess I've said it enough that everyone has heard it.....but......I love precuts.... and especially jelly rolls. Earlier this week I began working on a new quilt using Rural Jardin jelly roll. I was very careful to cut ...... and to stitch using the scant quarter inch. This pattern begins with strip sets which are subcut into 2 1/2" strips before being joined to the contrasting fabric. My problems began when I started building the blocks using the strip sets. Some... not all... of the seams just didn't fit properly. I was so upset with myself for my obvious mistake in cutting and or sewing. I just put the entire project away until this afternoon. I started to work on it again and I realized my problem was consistently with the blocks containing red strips. I measured again and realized the two of the red print strips from the jelly roll were not exactly 2 1/2 inches wide... they were just a little wider and they caused all of my problems.

I haven't ever measured the width of jelly roll strips... I didn't know I needed to.
Have you had any issues like these?

Hugs
Mia
