Jelly roll quilt, # 2

When learning how to do borders I discovered the jelly roll quilt.  It was so fast that I decided to make one sometime during the sewing of Alex's t-shirt quilt.  I started by buying 3 jelly rolls of 18 pieces each.  I decided to make a queen size quilt this time.  Each roll ended up only being 14" wide.  That's right three rolls at 11.99 each was nit enough.  I bought most of them at 50% off but nit all of them.  Seven altogether so 84/2 =42 plus tax so I'm in it so far for about $55-60.
Jelly roll opened up and ready to sew in strips.
Strips sewn together.  Have to separate, trim, and divide them next.
Still have last Jellyroll to sew then will decide on final layout and determine backing.  I found the cotton batting at Hobby Lobby for around $20.  I'll use a coupon probably a 50% off so it shouldn't cost as much.  I'm trying to better track my time and costs on this one.  I feel like it probably took an hour per each roll but I start and stop during the seeing process so nit really sure.
