Race 'n Roll

Basic instruction for the Jelly Roll Race quilt--
Sew all 40  2 1/2" strips together, using a diagonal seam, to make one long 1600" strip.

Cut 18" off one end.  Bring the end up to the beginning, and sew together down the 800" length,  cutting it open at the end.  It is now 2 strips deep.

Bring the end up to the beginning, sew down the 400" length, cut open at end--now it is 4 deep.

Bring the end up to the beginning, sew down the 200" length, cut open at end--now it is 8 deep.

Bring the end up to the beginning, sew down the 100" length, cut open at end--now it is 16 deep.

Cut in half so you have 2  50" pieces and sew one on top of the other to finish about 50"x 64".

Now you can press, trim and square it up. Add a border if you want.
