That is the PERFECT size for our veterans' quilts ... we stay pretty close to 60 x 72 (big enough to cover one in bed, but folded in half fits well in a wheelchair) ...
It really won't matter how big the thing ends up with this smaller amount of strips, considering the fact that I can put borders on it to end up with a size that I want.
I am just sort of bummed out that the quilt shop owner didn't even bother to try to duplicate the reality of a jelly roll ... I guess I feel sort of "tricked" ... oh, well ... live and learn <g>

I may try another with shorter strips next time to get a more "scrappier" look.
Do you think it would work?
I think it looks great? did you start with 40 strips? About how big does your center measure? <wave> Good morning, all!<wave> ;)
Yes, started with 40 strips.
The center measures about 52 x 65".
I had a Moda jelly roll here called "Gypsy Rose".
Good luck! :-D
