Arrange into Rail Fence. 5 x 6.
center is 38x 45.5. Use remaining of larger piece for border and binding. I'm going with 4" cut. Final size should be 45 x 52.
3 days after work -
Day1 - cut and make strip setsDay 2 - subcut and make centerDay 3 - add bordersThis leaves day 4 & 5 to baste, quilt and machine bind. (I respect y'all who handstitch bindings, but that's not me)

So if you have medium sized bits and need a quilt fast.
This is the formula or pattern one of my volunteer organizations uses for donation quilts for our community homeless shelter. We you looking over our shoulder when they were sharing their "go to" pattern? Who cares it works and yes, it is fast, fast, fast!
