- Finished size 50" × 64"

How it is calculated
Each strip finishes at 2" tall, so the number of rows is the quilt length divided by 2. Multiply the rows by the quilt width and divide by the usable length of a strip, about 41 1/2" after a join.
A jelly roll of 40 strips holds about 2 3/4 yards of fabric.
