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>
OMAK - as usual you're the best. Thanks.

I just finished a second one and it only took 3 hrs. to do. Wish I had bought more when WM had them for $10.00 on clearance but they are all gone now. I guess I could make my own.

I will try to explain it. A jelly roll is stripes of material already cut and rolled up like a cinnamon roll. There are other kinds too but I don't know what they are called. I am just learning what all these different things are myself.

Also, if you go to the top of this page and click on the "search" link, type "jelly roll" into the box that pops up, you will get a complete (or at least a very thorough) list of every place a jelly roll is mentioned on this site. <wave>
