I did this quilt to out if jelly roll and it took me an hour to sew together the strips. After I did this I realized I had sewn them at wring angle and had to rip 40 strips and see again. Then another hour of sewing. Once they were sewn together I was able to do the race part and it took a hour and half. So so much for 45minute top.
Used a civil war fabric jelly roll and working on borders now.
