This is great! I've had 2 Xmas jelly rolls that I got back in '08 and had planned for this exact look for a bed quilt . . . only I figured I'd have to sew ends together, measure length, cut, then sew strips together, and repeat. Very time consuming. Wasn't looking forward to that and that's why I haven't done it yet. I LOVE how easy this will be to get exactly what I've pictured in my head for a long time now but in a quick and easy way. Thanks so much to you both for the written and pictorial tutes!
