A honey bun is 1.5" strips, 40 to a roll.
I think I figured that up a bit ago, but it is pretty quick to do - - 1.5" x 40 x 40" = a strip at 1600 x 1.5"
step 2 - - 800" x 2.5"
step 3 - - 400" x 4.5"
step 4 - - 200" x 8.5"
step 5 - - 100" x 16.5"
step 6 - - 50" x 32.5"
This is the size that would make a fine baby quilt, but the strips would be going vertically, rather than across the quilt.
While we are discussing this, I just saw another thread where the quilter did a strip block with an Ohio star alternated throughout the quilt. At step 4, where you have 8.5", you could subcut the strips into at least 35 - 8.5" squares ... you could alternate the strip direction every other block, and make the strips even scrappier ... the size would be 5 squares by 7 squares or 40" x 56" ...
just an idea <g> <wave>
WOW - I like this idea. I'm going to try it either tonight or tomorrow. After I get the top done I'll try to post a picture. Thanks for a great idea.
OMAK - as usual you're the best. Thanks.
