Since I don't know what came before or comes after... my guess is that you are cutting both 3 1/2 inch and 2 1/2 inch strips (selvedge to selvedge)... usually bargello quilts do not always have the same size strips. It is the variance of the widths as well as the other cuts and sewing you will do that will make the bargello a bargello! Hope this makes sense. :mrgreen:
