Having just completed one-I'm joining in on the Eleanor burns/Quiltsmart method. I'm an intermediate sewer, their way made me look like a genius. I did a test run first, decided it was doable and went to town on a queen sized one. I actually adjusted the Eleanor burns templates to use 2.5 strips and emailed them my pattern change, only to find out they have done the same and are coming out with a new template to fit jelly rolls. PM me with any questions! Test and final quilt took me about 8 weekends this summer-it's at the LA right now.
