Some fun facts about Jelly Rolls from Moda...
-There are (40) 2 1/2" by width of fabric (WOF) strips in a Moda Jelly Roll. (Other manufacturers pretty much follow this industry standard but not always. And smaller rolls are becoming popular; example 20 strips.)
-Jelly Roll is a trade marked product name. (No other manufacturer can use the name Jelly Roll. That is why other manufacturers have come up with their own names, example: Roll-Up, Sushi Roll, Rolli Polli, Double Scoops, Karats, Strip Roll, and Strip Pack.)
-The very first Jelly Roll was created in 2006.
-National Sew A Jelly Roll Day is always the third Saturday in September.
-You can cut (16) 2 1/2" square from a Jelly Roll strip.
-A Jelly Roll is equivalent to approximately 2 3/4 yards of fabric.
-It takes 38 Jelly Rolls to make a mile; 5,280 feet.
-Moda rolls and ties each Jelly Roll by hand.
-There is the same amount of yardage in a Jelly Roll as in a Layer Cake (10" squares).

Jelly Rolls or Strips Rolls are very popular. They are color coordinated by fabric collection and already pre-cut so getting to the sewing machine is that much faster. Patterns abound throughout the industry; individually purchaseable, book collections, and free.
