Simply stop after six rounds for a four inch size; add two more for the five inch version; or complete all ten for the six inch version. As an added bonus, these strips are cut 1 1/4″ wide – half the width of the popular 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ruler. Therefore you can use that white center line to cut jelly rolls in half and start sewing a multitude of blocks in no time!
