To GingerK You know, that's a good point. I actually thought that was going to look weird. Now, for the problem, I don't have any fabric left. How would it be if I just made the whole thing shorter and used some of those strips to stagger? For example, if I cut some of the strips in thirds, I could stagger them with the 2 regularly sized strips.
(45" 15" 45")
(15, 45, 45)
(45, 45, 15)

Something like that?

One question - when you use more than one jelly roll, do you cut 18" of the first piece off each roll, or do you just cut it once at the beginning when you start sewing them all together. I am really looking forward to this. Wish us all luck, we who are embarking on a strip quilt. Edie

It's my understanding that you cut 18" off the first strip once in the beginning.
