This is made from one jelly roll (or 40 2.5" strips cut width of fabric) with the strips sewn end-to-end. Fold the strip in half and sew the edges. Cut the fold when you get to the end and finish the seam. Do this a total of 5 times and you have a quilt top! It finishes at 48 x 64 without borders. Took me 2 hours total. Amazing.
I added borders, so that added maybe another 30 minutes. I pulled from my stash for that and the binding. It's crazy how fast it goes. Here is a link to a video and specific directions:
