Race Quilt
I have just started my first race quilt. What an adventure!!!! No one said to be sure you have a definite back and front! I re-did a whole bunch of them strips!!! now I am finally putting 8 strips together. Question... I have 40 strips, 42" long. How big will the top be if I make it as square as I can? I am so lousy at the math! Thanks

If you're following the instructions for the original jelly roll 1600 race quilt (40 2.5" strips, each with 40" usable finished length), your quilt will come out at about 48x64. With the original instructions (making one long strip, sewing together and cutting at the midpoint, repeat...) You can't make it more square unless you change the number of strips.
