might be about jelly rolls strips. I have to rush back to work. Will check when I come back and post if you haven't found it.
Hi EP,

I think you might be right about your posts. I found what you were talking about and within the messages was a link to the Wondercut ruler, and I think from there, I researched it and found a chart showing size of strips to cut for finished size of HSTs using the same method with any ruler.

Here is the link to the technique if anyone is interested.

Diane, just so you know...with the wondercut method you will be dealing
with bias edges. Frankly, not my favorite if I can avoid.

I starch very heavily before I cut and sew and I don't press my patches until everything is sew into the block, so I don't worry too much about the bias edges. So far, so good! We shall see how it turns out using this method.

Thanks for your help.

THANK YOU ANDI!!

That is exactly what I was looking for! I knew it was out there. The chart and technique are both on that page.

Thank you for being so helpful and saving my sanity!

You're welcome. Starch is a good thing when working with bias. :thumbup:
