Cut 1 WOF of each of your 6 colors, A through F, cutting them 2-½“ wide. Lay them out in an order pleasing to your eye and sew with ¼” seams as shown in the photo. PLEASE NOTE: You will offset each WOF piece by 2”, creating a “stair step“ effect. . Start at the same side each time, and let the other end fall where it wants to -- your fabrics will probably not be all the exact length. Press well from the wrong side. Then press from the front, make sure to press out the little folds or wrinkles at the seam lines. One set of 6 WOF pieces will make one long piece about 12“ to 12-½ wide, depending on how accurate your seams are -- width is not 100% critical for this step.
Lay your strip set on your cutting mat with edges of long side of strip set along mat lines. Using the 45 degree line from your cutting mat, trim the left side as shown. Without moving the strip set, put the 3-½” line of your ruler along the freshly cut edge. Cut off a section, move ruler over to the right so the 3-½” line is positioned as before and cut. Keep going until all the pieces are cut from this strip set. Stack your cut pieces so the colors in the pile line up. If you started your strip with color B all your pieces will have color B at the same end of the pile.
Sew the pieces together as you would as if you were making binding, see 4th picture down. See (No, this is not going to be used for binding - way too much work for a binding LOL)
Make two more of these strip sets with colors in the same order as the first set, for a total of three strip sets
Set aside for another day.
