Sew your strips together and keep sewing the lengths checking after 5-6 folds to seeif you have the length yiou want. I made one and after I had the length I wanted it was not wide enough so I sewed more strips together and then sewed them on the sides. Acutally I had to buy extra fabric. I use borders to make my quilts the width/length that I want. Inside of quilt can be smaller and border wider to bring quilt up to size you want.
