it starts out with a written instruction, and then further down the pages, there is a pictorial, step by step tutorial ... It is super fast! and it will use up the strips.
How to figure 1600"? Consider that a strip of fabric from selvedge to selvedge averages 40" ... 40 strips will give you the 1600" required. You don't have to use full strips ... just make sure the strips you use end up with that final 1600" total.
Further on in the thread, you will find numbers telling you what different widths of strips will yield for a finished quilt (no border included) ... if you have any questions about that technique, just post on that thread, and the originator or someone else will help you - - that is what we are here for <wave>
