I too would like to use this method for a queen sized quilt. I have a Christmas jelly roll that I've wanted to get this exact look from. Actually, I have two jelly rolls, but looking at all the math, I think I'll stick to using just one. HA! However, in order to get it to the larger size, I'll add 3 borders - a plain one, a pieced one, and another plain one. I have lots of FQ's in the same fabrics as the jelly rolls and I'll use them to create the pieced border. So the jelly roll part will make up the center of the quilt, with the borders taking it up to the right size.
Sounds like it will be really pretty. How do you think you'll piece the border? Vertically?
I'm not sure yet how I'll piece the border. Having so many different fabrics, it will be a scrappy look. I'm thinking either sawtooth stars all the way around or maybe to stick with the more contemporary feel, just doing rows of 2" squares. This is probably 8th or further on my to-do list so I have some time to think it over.
