I've been thinking about this statement this morning...but not regarding my typing . Re the size of the strips. you can cut the strips 4 1/2 to piece your panels. then cut those panels into strips 2 1/2 in wide.Then you would sew the 2 1/2 in strips together and you would be constructing your top from left to right across the quilt.
Or, you can cut the strips 2 1/2 in. to sew into panels. then cut the pane into strips 4 1/2 in. wide. constructing the top from left to right, starting a the bottom, working up the length of the quilt.

I hope this is correct...My memory isn't what it used to be and it had been a long time since I made one of these.
