9-1/2” Segment

18-1/2” Segment

27-1/2” Segment

36-1/2” Segment

45-1/2” Segment

54-1/2” Segment

Cutting:

You have already cut (11) 2-3/4” x WOF assorted red strips and (11) 2-3/4” x WOF assorted white strips

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.
