1000 " by 2" (I count the finished size because it's easier)
fold once: 500" by 4"
fold again: 250" by 8"
fold again: 125" by 16"
fold again: 62.5" by 32"
Add borders you want and you have a quilt.
Or:
20 strips of 40" gives you 800" (or scraps totallying 800")
fold once: 400" by 4"
fold again: 200" by 8"
fold again: 100" by 16"
fold again: 50" by 32"
Add borders to make a nice throw or baby quilt.
You get the picture.
Good luck!

Hi Robin
Thanks for the pattern. I've been looking at my Jelly Roll with matching Layer Cake, trying to decide what to do. Have you tried to angle the joining of the strips? Not sure if I'm making sense. LOL.

I have made them with straight seams and with angled seams like joining binding and borders. Both ways work well. If you do a search for photos you will find examples of both.

Thank you, I am new to quilting and have a jelly roll in infant boy patterns for my new grandson expected beginning of February. I did not know where to get started. Now I do.
