    I just made one this weekend and used the equivalent of three jelly rolls and yes I made it the same way, you can do it in three sections and then join the sections together if you want.

    Mine was done in blues, yellows, teals some light cream with blue or yellow designs.

    Have fun, took me about 4 hours to make.

    what size did you make? I asked a quilt shop owner and she told me 5 rolls for a queen size.

    http://blog.heirloomcreations.net/?p=1897 I think 1600 refers to 1600 inches.

    Just sent my lasagne (1600) quilt to my local LAQ. I used 2 small jelly roll's from JoAnns (28each roll). First border was 4 1/2 inches wide. Second border was cut 7 1/2 inches. Looks beautiful. Original Lasagne was made as our community project. However, GD saw, fell in love with it and presto it was her quilt! Just finish another community quilt which will go to an agency. Did not show this one to anyone family member.

    I forgot to mention that I did not miter the seams, just joined the with a 1/4 inch seam. I gained more fabric in my strips which made it longer.

    Hmmm, just think about the possible designs that you could get doing this....4 j/r tops sewn together, say each in opposite directions or sashed between or strips separated by a solid or............get the idea......makes me want to try that!
