I am about to start a quilt called Multifaceted. It uses Hoffman Bali Pops (2 1/2" x 44" strips). I need to make several combinations using 3 fabric strips and 4 fabric strips.
Should I stitch them in the same direction or should I change direction when adding each strip? Does this make sense?
I am concerned about the strips stretching and getting wavy. I know a number of you have used the strip tubing method so I am hoping you can advise me. Thanks so much.

Yes, it was designed as a strip tubing method quilt.
Daniela Stout the owner of Cozy Quilt Shop in Rancho San Diego designed this pattern, and in fact has designed many patterns for this method. You can see all of her patterns at cozyquilt.com
I agree with everyone that suggest alternating the direction of sewing, so that is what I will do. I hoping to get it started tomorrow. Thank you for your advice. I have come to rely on all of you. Thanks.
