I had the same concern that it just wasn't quite big enough. It wasn't too square - it just wasn't big enough. My throws are usually 50+' x 72". My jelly roll was too old and I couldn't find anything that I liked to go with it. So it ended up unfinished and sent to a group of folks that make donation quilts. I see what people do on here and that are so creative and I get envious that I don't think like them.
