Super Fast Jelly-roll quilt
#545
Go ahead and read through all the posts. (it might take you a while) There is one of them where I explained the math to figure out how many strips and inches you will need for a particular size quilt.
For example:
If you have 25 strips of 40" long you have
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!

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.
