Bliss for Jelly Rolls — Cotton Batting Strips
Bliss for Jelly Rolls is the most complete jelly roll batting strip offering in the market — available in both standard jelly roll widths (2-1/4" and 2-1/2") and in both standard and economy lengths (25 and 50 yards), giving quilters four format options to match their project scale and pattern requirements. 100% cotton construction with the same Bliss softness as the full-size batting line. Whether your pattern calls for 2-1/4" or 2-1/2" strips, and whether you're making one jelly roll quilt or a whole season's worth, there's a Bliss strip format sized for you. The rest of the line is mapped in the Bliss Batting overview, with full-size options in the Bliss 80/20 and Bliss Bamboo guides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which strip width do I need — 2-1/4" or 2-1/2"?
Match your pattern. Most jelly roll rug and quilt-as-you-go patterns use 2-1/2" to pair with standard 2-1/2" fabric strips; 2-1/4" suits patterns that account for seam take-up or want a slightly leaner finished strip. Check the pattern's batting spec before ordering — the quarter inch matters over a whole quilt.
How much strip does a jelly roll rug or quilt use?
A typical jelly roll rug consumes roughly 50–60 feet of batting strip — well inside a 25-yard roll — while strip-pieced quilt-as-you-go quilts vary with size but commonly run 30–45 yards for a throw. Serial makers go straight to the 50-yard economy rolls.
Why use batting strips instead of cutting my own?
Consistency and time. Pre-cut strips are perfectly uniform in width with no drifting rotary cuts, feed evenly through the folding-and-stitching process, and eliminate an hour of cutting per project — plus you're not sacrificing a full batting package to strip harvesting.
