I went to my first meeting with a new group, The Island Strippers, and, well, we cut strips! Instructions said to bring 4 coordinating fat quarters. We cut each one into a square, then diagonally into 2 triangles, to be matched up and sewn into new squares. We layered 2 of the new squares together and cut strips across. I alternated 1.5" and 2.5", while some made same size widths. Then we used fusible interfacing to "Converge" the strips by laying them out with edges touching on the fusible side before fusing. Then it was easy to fold and sew each seam! I had 2 panels, and I wanted to try to make a tote with foam stablizer, so I did!
