1) read read then read the pattern again.
2) have those little post it's ready and lots of pins to label every cut and pile of cuts(there are heaps of them) I also found it handy to have a few little bags, I think you call them zip locks?
3)Be very careful when laying ut your cut strips to have your lights always facing the right way (Jack the Ripper and I became closer friends over the weekend)

Although we are both very happy with our results, I am so glad that I suggested our first attempt should be something small such as a table runner.

We also discovered that the pattern in the book is flawed.

Good luck with your quest
