When you get to the end, you cut the fold and flatten it out, and bring the ends together again, sew, clip, flatten, sew, etc. for a total of 5 times. Here's what mine looked like when done. Shocking, isn't it??? :shock:
Janice, Wow and congratulations on your jelly roll quilt. The colors are not really my cup of tea, but what a great job and great way to make a really fast quilt. We could all make a quilt like that on our treadles and post them - they would all be so different!
