Those become strip sets. Then the strip sets are cut into different sizes. In this pattern, they are from two inch to four inch.
It is an interesting technique and takes some organization, but it makes me look like a much better quilter than I am.

I am like linmid...scared to try. I really like the colors in your bargello and the X factor layout is a very interesting one. Thank you, Dina, for the info on how to do it and for the prompt reply.
