Come along as I go over how I made this HUGE tote bag using jelly roll strip fabrics. I am using fat quarters fabrics that I cut into 2.5″ wide strips sewing two together to make 44″ long strips. You can use jelly roll fabric strips for this. I then add batting for that jelly roll rug effect. Adding side panels and handles to complete the look.
