I love that fabric and I have been looking at it all season in jelly roll form at my LQS but I didn't get time to do it and I am refusing to buy just 'cuz. Now I'm jealous!
Yours looks super, and you pieced it HOW FAST? on your antique? Wow Wow :D :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :)

Can anybody tell me what size this quilt will be if you use the 1 jelly roll and the 1 white jelly roll? Just would like an idea of how big we are talking - I know size changes with borders but would really like to know how big the basic top will be. Thanks!

The questions are no problem. Give the quilt a try!

I've got a few strips sewn together and ready to cut, but I want to verify the size. For the 50" x 66", 8.5" blocks, are you using the 12-1/2" ruler as shown in the video? I'm not sure how this sizing works! Thanks again!

You use the ruler to make the angled cuts, once you have the tube sewn. I had to watch that part of the video at least six times before I felt confident on how to do the cuts! I wish she wouldn't go so fast in the video...

I did the same thing - watched it over and over again, and was afraid to make that first cut! Now I understand the size issue, so I'll have more courage to try it again! Thanks so much - I really appreciate your help!
