I don't think you are going to get to a queen sized quilt from here <g> ...
The original pattern is 40 strips with an average of 40 inches per strip (some strips may go as high as 45, but average is 40 inches) ...
one jelly roll = 1600 inches ... stitched end to end, folded in half, creates a piece that measures 800x 4.5" ... folded in half, (and cut) creates a piece 400" x 8.5"
repeat to create a piece 200" x 16.5"
and, again to create a piece 100" x 32.5" ...and, once again to create a piece measuring 50" x 64.5"
if you add a 4.5" border all around, you end up with lap robe that ends up measuring approximately 58.5" x 73" very respectable size.
So, then I added 1/2 jelly roll - - the figures look like:
2400" ... fold in half = 1200" x 4.5
600" x 8.5"
300" x 16.5"
150" x 32.5"
75" x 64.5" once again, you have created a lap robe, but the stripes are going vertically, rather than horizontally ... so, then <g>
I did the math for two jelly rolls:
3200 ... folded in half creates a piece that measure 1600" x 4.5
800" x 8.5"
400" x 16.5"
200" x 32.5"
100" x 64.5"
50" X 128.5" once again, the stripes would be more naturally vertical ....
NOW! Not all is lost ... I can go back and do the math for a wider strip ... <wave>
