Cut these strips into various lengths from 9” to 12” long
Make Strip Sets:
Attach short, scrappy red segments together with diagonal seams to make approx. 400” long strip
Repeat for scrappy white segments
Trim seam allowances to 1/4”
Press diagonal seams open
Attach the long red and white strips on a long edge to make a two-strip set that is approx. 400” long
Cut in half and sew the two halves together to make a four-strip set that is 9-1/2” wide x approx. 200” long
Press the long seams toward the red fabric
Cut the four-strip set into segments and attach the labels that you created
Set the segments aside until time to assemble the quilt.
