If you want to make the string quilt, I just watched the tutorial and it is very simple. You can use 10" muslin squares or just use any cotton fabric you have on hand that you may never use (as long as it is a light enough color that it won't show through your strips). You don't even need to draw lines, she didn't in the tutorial and the paper squares they sell don't have lines. Just start with a strip down the center (corner to corner) and add a strip to each side until your square is covered. Using muslin will make your quilt heavier but you don't have to pull off the paper. I have even seen people use pages from phone books (just cut to size). Pages are very thin and easy to remove. You can also get very thin typing paper if you want to go the paper route. I have been make blocks using Christmas strips left over from stockings I made a few years ago. Using many different widths and they are coming out very cute. Good luck on your project. Just go for it.
