It is really guaranteed with this method because of the folding, although if you chose carefully which side of the strip to sew, you can limit it a bit.
Fromthenest, are you SURE you didnt cheat a little on yours?!! I can't understand how your colour distribution came out so well!

I live in Canada - don't think we have jelly roll producers here - mailing costs double the prices of everything!

I just made this quilt, but my center is much bigger than the example given here. It's 72" x 64", but it is 32 strips wide??? I was hoping it would be a bit more rectangle...what would you do to it?
