I always wondered what to do with the jelly roll and now Iknow. I love your pattern. Very simple and quick. Since I have never done one and I would like to make a queen size do you recommed 2 jelly rolls? 1 1/2? Just not sure. I wish I could come up with such great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

The original pattern is 40 strips with an average of 40 inches per strip (some strips may go as high as 45, but average is 40 inches) ...
one jelly roll = 1600 inches ... stitched end to end, folded in half, creates a piece that measures 800x 4.5" ... folded in half, (and cut) creates a piece 400" x 8.5"
repeat to create a piece 200" x 16.5"
and, again to create a piece 100" x 32.5" ...and, once again to create a piece measuring 50" x 64.5"
if you add a 4.5" border all around, you end up with lap robe that ends up measuring approximately 58.5" x 73" very respectable size.
So, then I added 1/2 jelly roll - - the figures look like:
2400" ... fold in half = 1200" x 4.5
600" x 8.5"
300" x 16.5"
150" x 32.5"
75" x 64.5" once again, you have created a lap robe, but the stripes are going vertically, rather than horizontally ... so, then <g>
I did the math for two jelly rolls:
3200 ... folded in half creates a piece that measure 1600" x 4.5
800" x 8.5"
400" x 16.5"
200" x 32.5"
100" x 64.5"
50" X 128.5" once again, the stripes would be more naturally vertical ....
NOW! Not all is lost ... I can go back and do the math for a wider strip ... <wave>

So! I went to a 3.5" strip ... 40" long ... 40 strips per roll:
1600" -- first step = 800" x 6.5"
second step = 400" x 12.5"
third step = 200" x 24.5"
fourth fold = 100" x 48. 5"
fifth fold/step = 50 x 96.5"
60 strips, 3.5" wide, at 40 " long (1.5 jelly rolls) = 2400"
first fold = 1200" x 6.5"
second fold = 600" x 12.5"
third fold = 300" x 24.5"
fourth fold = 150" x 48.5"
fifth fold = 75" x 96.5"
and, finally <g> 2 jelly rolls of 3.5" pieces, average forty inches long, 80 strips = 3200"
first fold = 1600" x 6.5"
second fold = 800" x 12.5"
third fold = 400" x 24.5"
fourth fold = 200" x 48.5"
fifth fold = 100" x 96.5"
TA DAH! I think I figured it out for you. I got some measurements that are close to what you want ... but, do you want me to do some more? I have heard they do a 4.5" jelly roll :shock: would you like me to do that math on that, too? <wave>
