I like Jordan fabrics design better than the oval I've seen in other videos...there does seem to be a lot of "bowing" happening withe the continuous oval rug. Whereas with the Jordan, each jelly roll,strip is sewn like a string block...no bowing and looks so much easier to handle....maybe I would first try a tablerunner.... Several years ago there was a pattern out for a purse done with that same technique..a friend did one and it was lovely........
