As I was falling asleep last night I realized that I had forgotten to take all the seams of sewing the strips together into my figures yesterday. Your 40 strips will lose about 20 inches when sewn all together so you end up with 42 x 80 instead of the 42 x 100 I had calculated yesterday. That also makes your price per yard higher as a Jelly Roll really equals 2.222 yards. Still enough for a baby quilt & probably the throw. I'd still want a few FQ's for borders and fudging room myself.
