Two and a half inches (2.5") wide by the width of the fabric, from selvedge to selfedge <wave>

I am working with my thirty three strips, and this is not looking good at all! .... Turns out, there were eleven different fabrics, three strips of each fabric ... Bummer!
Lesson learned ... rather than separate the strips into stacks of three and then going through and taking one of each until I was through the whole thing, I should have figured out which color to do first, and put all three strips together in one long strip.
I am intrigued enough in trying to make this work that I am thinking seriously of duplicating the strip set up and do it a different way ... JUST to see <g> <wave>
