Oh, and before you ask, the adding machine tape is to keep them going straight. When I get enough sewn onto 1 yd sections of tape then I'll cut them into strips, add other fabric on, and make a quilt with them. I didn't know why to use the adding machine tape until I started doing it.
When you say add another fabric on, do you mean you sew them on to a base fabric or a fabric between the strips? My brain is in low gear this morning.
