I made one for Project Linus using about 22 strips instead of 40. I wasn't real pleased with the result, so I cut it into about 5 inch strips, added a 3 inch sashing in-between each section (I think there were 3 sections so that would result in two sashing strips, added a border and voila! Much better. Don't have a picture, but it was very simple and turned out cute with novelty fabrics and kona solids mixed in.
