I think a jelly roll swap is a great idea. I will host it if anyone is interested!! Let me know, I will keep checking here and post something.
Happy stitching!!

Regarding the bees, they have discovered the virus that was killing off the bees, and that is being treated.

Not that anybody on this site ever buys more fabric than what the pattern calls for--I have started to cut the smaller leftover pieces into squares or strips. Squares to donate to my church humanitarian department & strips for a future scrap quilt. Like the hanger idea & use that when I have 2 strips sewn together while working on a quilt, but no room in closet right now for my 'new' strips. Took an idea from a fellow crafter & started buying the plastic drawers to store little things in. You can see in the drawer before you open it & cut down on the search process.

You girls are wonderful! Why didn't I ever think of slicing my "leftovers" into 2 1/2" strips! What was I thinking???? I always buy more than I need. When I buy fabric that I love, I can't bear to use it all up, give the quilt away and never see the fabric again.

Ok, I am a little (?) neurotic! lol
I am going to do this from now on! Thanks for the great tip!

I guess if you wash fabric first, put strips into a lingerie laundry bag and wash on gentle cycle. Do not spin in the washer, and dry while in the lingerie bag. I sometime do this with FQ's if I need to do 2 or 3 with my other laundry.

Think it would be fun to do our own jelly rolls. I bought one a couple of years ago at the Great American Quilt Shop in Denver. Should have unrolled it, as some of the fabrics were b--- ugly. And these rolls are not cheap.

Jasinta: What are they doing about/for bees now? My grandson in Denver and I are keepping track of them.

cindyg: Thanks for the Cat's Meow, etc. Must have come from 30's, meaning that is fine, grand, aewsome. etc.

love_2quilt60: I have seen these on a gillion websites, and they look neat, but I want to see what they all look like in the roll, since they are not cheap.
