Sewed a 5th to the rest and checked, and had a handful that needed one more strip. Did that and in the end, I had one strip left over, so that worked out very well!
Thanks for the tutorial & pictures Macybaby! Your strings look great.
I appreciate the encouragement AngeliaNR & Lisa - you may have convinced me.
Bonnie's oranges are my yellow so now that I understand *why* she recommend a range of color for orange I will go back through my scraps & stash and see if I have some butter yellow, bright yellows, and maybe some golds.
I am guessing it is important that the strings run vertically vs horizontally. And now I am back to thinking this will be an on-point settings. So fun to speculate.
