Hope your project turned out
. I've been working on a strip pattern using a precut jelly roll and I did a little experimenting to find the best method to joining several strips all together. First I alternated ends and had good results - next tried sewing strips in twos and then joining with so-so results, last tried starting the sewing all at one end and had terrible results. As everyone here has already mentioned alternating seems to be the best method.
Now I'm trying to adjust where I start placing the alternate strip ends so that I can get as much as I can from the strip fabric produced. I'm trying not to have so much waste on the ends when I cut crosswise.
