Now, depending on how long my strip set is, I cut
12.5" squares as many as I can get from that strip set,

4.5" strip sets and trim them down to 10.5" wide, saving the trims to make more strip sets later,.as many as I can get from.

Then 2.5" strip sets, the width of the strip set.

I'll take some pictures to show what I'm talking about.
