I just emailed Connecting Threads to see what they say. I do so hate bad directions!
one sentence says "sew the strips together into two indential strip sets(four strip sets if using fat qtrs). sew the strips in numerical order from 1 to 10 in sets of two per point 6 below."
i will have to study this one before attempting it and then most likely go by the picture. i printed off a larger one off their site.
