All of the fabrics in a jelly roll are created to work well with each other. The beauty of the precut is that you get a whole line of fabric in a little bundle. A lot of bang for less buck. A little less than 10 years ago, I attended a wonderful sewing event. It took place in a hotel. There were sewing machines, projects, and door prizes. I had so much fun and have dreamed of creating something like that ever since. Last year I tested out a zoom sew day that encompassed what I thought it
