Thanks. I thought I would only need to cut the strips shorter but I didn't want to rely on my judgment only. Thanks for the second opinion.
I generally don't cut or sew when I'm tired. It was Thanksgiving evening after we came back from my mom's house. I really wanted to get some of the runners cut so I could just sew yesterday. But, my daughter was still home from college and we spent most of the day doing her favorite kind of shopping -- online! She hates crowds.
