Was wondering the same about the 29 blocks!
Jennifer23's description of how to do it was perfect...but cut the strips 14 1/2", not 14". Block will finish at 14" when blocks are sewn together. My question. How will you lay it out for 29 blocks? If you have 5 blocks wide by 6 blocks length, you will need 30 blocks. It will make a 70" x 84" finished quilt.

So the last two strips are cut at 14 inches.

Roughly all round strip will be 21/2" by 49" based on : 2 stripes at 10" for sides and 2 stripes at 141/2".( I'm confused as to exact size of the centre is it 10" or 101/2" if the later add 1/2" to the 10" sides. ) total, 20" plus 29" equals 49".
