Yep, right in the first stage of sewing the strips end to end.

I don't think there'd be an opporunity to add fabric later on as you're sewing the seams.
Although you could sew it between the two pieces after you've made the first cut, but then you'd get thinner strip throughout the whole piece. Which could be very interesting....a 1/2" of a striped fabric thrown in.

I think you can only plan so much when making one of these.
If you change the width of the quilt, you would change the distribution of the extra squares/fabric strip in the quilt top.

I'm sure there is some algorithm I could use to figure it all out.
I'll pass on that little exercise and take my chances. :mrgreen:
