I am working on Surf Song by Eileen Wright, however, I only have 20 fabrics to a strip set. I pressed each set and then folded in half (or actually folded right sides together so the fold seam would lay flat) to cut my slices then I sew my slices in a tube. I would not sew a tube and then cut.
It works better for "me" if I only cut a few slices at a time and join them then cut a few more, join them, etc. I check off a row once cut and also pin the row # to each (as mentioned above). I wasn't as consistent as I thought w/my seam allowances and quickly discovered my squares didn't come together well when matching seams. So BEFORE you "slice", recheck to ensure your stripes are consistent within each set.
Have fun!
P.S. I'm using the wall hanging pattern but adding rows on each side for more width and cut my strip sets 1/2" wider to get enough length for a lap size quilt.
