Does anyone have an easy method for remembering which direction you sewed each strip?

Should I just use a perm. marker to mark an arrow in the seam allowance at the start of each strip? Or maybe there's an even easier solution . . . . please post any ideas.

Thanks!

If I'm sewing multiple strips together, I sew my strips in sets of 2, aligning the starting edge. Then I sew the sets together going in the opposite direction making sets of 4.
