We use 2 1/2" scraps and have a huge tub full that seems to have no bottom. When we have small widths of fabric left over they all get cut into 2 1/2" strips for a JRR or narrower for foundation piecing. No fabric goes unused. Then, every sliver of fabric or batting goes into a flannel pillow case to be made into a cat pillow for a church member. Just another thought for everyone.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855585544297820109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-18519488256219755422018-02-03T14:24:58.189-06:002018-02-03T14:24:58.189-06:00I'm part of a Prayer Quilt Ministry at my chur...I'm part of a Prayer Quilt Ministry at my church and we've found the Jelly Roll RAce quilte to be great for new quilters to practice those 1/4" seams.

Would you know about how long your beginning length of strips was before sewing them into rows? I really would like to attempt one like you did by cutting the "quilt" into sections and then inserting the sashing. I would hate to have the finished quilt end up too small. Love reading your blog and all the great ideas you come up with are so inspiring.<br />Susan RizziSusan R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03671493033873992148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-32261642795741440952018-01-30T22:10:07.027-06:002018-01-30T22:10:07.027-06:00Not usually a fan of the Jelly Roll Race quilt, bu...Not usually a fan of the Jelly Roll Race quilt, but I like the variations you've posted here.

I usually look through it when I need a scrappy binding, but some things have been in there for awhile. Like the pink piece (I just don't quilt that much with pink!)
