This great wallhanging can be made into any width or height, by simply making the fabric strips wider or longer.  We cut ours 44" long (selvage to selvage) and 12" wide.  The assembly of this quilt is simple: lay two fabrics lenghtwise, so they overlap by approximately 3-4"  Then cut a gentle wavy edge, cutting through both fabrics at the same time.  These are then sewn together with a 1/4' seam.  Full directions for this technique are found in the pattern.
