Amen!!! I finished one this past summer where I increased the width of the strips, thinking it wouldn't make that much difference...it did! Bottom line to the story is that I ended up with two big quilts and a smaller one that was 56x56. Worked out great, I guess--I gave one to each son and one for us.
