HERE ARE 10 IDEAS FOR JELLY ROLL STRIPS AND SCRAPS:

  1. Make strip sets for 9-patch blocks

  2. Make strip sets for 4-patch blocks

  3. Cut strips 4 1/2" long. Use with 2 1/2" squares (Moda Candy squares work great) to create scrappy Flying Geese blocks.

  4. Sew strips together for a scrappy back.

  5. Make "framed" 9-patch blocks (1 Jelly Roll strip is enough to frame a 6" finished 9-patch.

  6. Make a "coins" quilt using left over Jelly Roll pieces.

  7. Make Log Cabin blocks.

  8. Make piano key borders for a scrappy quilt.

  9. Make kitchen accessories: pot holders, place mats, mug rugs, or coasters.

  10. Make scrappy binding by cutting Jelly Roll strips into fourths and then sewing together as many pieces as needed for the length desired.
