Some bargellos start in the middle and work out to the edges some start from one side usually the left and go to the right of your piece. Whatever your pattern says Label each strip as you cut it. I take a strip of painters tape (stays stuck on fabric but no sticky residue), stick it on the edge of my cutting table, write the numbers, letters or whatever on the strip, and stick the label on the strip as soon as it is cut from the tube. This keeps me organized. I use the wooden pants hangers with the dowel that unhooks from the little wire bar and hang my strips in the order they are to be sewn. Just one way to stay organized but works for me.
