Thank you for creating this post. I share your need to know but in a different sense. My strips are cut selvage to selvage and have not been sewn. I have just finished my 2nd Bargello and feel like I am in a '2 1/2" strip' forrest. I am torn between putting the strip(s) back into the ruler folded fabric it belongs with in case I use that fabric for something that uses 2 1/2" strips or just sewing the 2 1/2" strips into something to use up the fabric. ??
