    Default Pillow Cases into Jelly Rolls
    I just turned several pillow cases into these 2.5" strips. I have enough for a nice strip lap quilt. Purchased the pillow cases for 50 cents each at thrift stores.

    I cut the strips with a Big Shot Pro and 2.5" dies.


    ​

    I cut off the hem but leave the seams because the Big Shot cuts off the seams for me.

    I just got a Big Shot. Can't wait to use it for some serious cutting for a bargello!
