I think Jump Rings was the last quilt with which I had that problem. I noticed when Block came out with the instructions for Jump Rings, they used a layer cake (42 pieces) rather than a jelly roll to make the quilt. I have made dozens of Jenny's quilts. I love them when I need to make a fast, easy quilt. I also like Block magazine although I have usually made the quilts I liked before the issue containing them came out. I'm just a big Jenny Doan fan.
