Good, I'm glad you did. I'm seeing people suggest how easy it looks but if you don't take the precautions I mentioned, you will get into trouble & not have a strip set big enough for your templates.
Looking for fabric can be really fun, too, but I can change my plan 3 or 4 times as I come across a new fabric (or color scheme) I decide to use. That's when I suggest to my friends when they ask me to help them choose fabrics, just lay out what you think you want then walk away around the corner away from them. Then when you look at them again, you'll know if you want every one you had pulled. Almost doesn't matter what you choose, they seem to always turn out great.
One more thing I hadn't mentioned, I do mine pillow case style instead of using a binding.
I can't get over how widespread this pattern is & how many names it's known as.
