The jelly roll was on clearance at Joann's when I got it, I forgot to mention that. The labor day sale is coming up too, going to restock on notions. They have a lot of cute pre cut being clearanced out right now.

Thanks, thats the site where I got the idea from. I am going to work on mine this weekend since its suppose to rain here.

My finished size of the blocks was 1 1/2 by 4 3/4, but that's because my machine doesn't change from 1/2 seams. (It's an older machine, to do 1/4, I have to draw lines because the feet don't help then.) The patterns I have seen online are usually 5 x 2 finished. My borders are 2 1/4 finished, and the whole quilt ended up at 47 1/2 x 38.

Here's a link to the pattern I based mine off of:

Thanks, its the same site I got the idea from. I am going to work on mine this weekend since its going to rain here ...

Love it! Twenty four years ago I made my daughter, before she was born, a Jacob's ladder quilt in peach, teal and brown. Funny how teal is her favorite color!
