The last measurements will work perfectly. I really do appreciate the help. Numbers are not my strong point :)

Thought y'all might enjoy seeing where this technique has been expanded to! <wave> |
What a great idea - quick and easy - that is how I like my quilts - thanks so much for all the posts, and the maths - I prefer to spend my time sewing than calculating.
Off to see who has jelly rolls on special Cheers |
Just found this post, don't know how I missed it in the beginning. better late than never. I am book marking it for further reference.

I just had to tell you that I made a jelly roll quilt top today following your tut. Took me about 4 hrs. to make it. I have another jelly roll and I can't wait to make it too. Thank you so much for the instructions. I think I am now hooked on jelly rolls.

I've made 3 already and I'm going to make my next one out of 'honey-buns'. Curious as to what the size will come out. They are fun. 2 of the 3 jellyrolls had dups, especially the Batik jellyroll. But I think it came out OK. Bought the backing for 2 of them and hope to get them together this week-end.

So, how big is a honey bun? I will do the math and tell you the size 8-) - - math is FUN! LOL <wave>

step 2 - - 800" x 2.5" step 3 - - 400" x 4.5" step 4 - - 200" x 8.5" step 5 - - 100" x 16.5" step 6 - - 50" x 32.5" This is the size that would make a fine baby quilt, but the strips would be going vertically, rather than across the quilt. While we are discussing this, I just saw another thread where the quilter did a strip block with an Ohio star alternated throughout the quilt. At step 4, where you have 8.5", you could subcut the strips into at least 35 - 8.5" squares ... you could alternate the strip direction every other block, and make the strips even scrappier ... the size would be 5 squares by 7 squares or 40" x 56" ... just an idea <g> <wave> |
