There are eight different combinations of fabrics in the strip sets.
Each color group is cut the same direction.
However, in some of the sets, the order from top to bottom is ABCDE, and the others with the same fabrics, the order is EDCBA.
This would be a great quilt for a scrappy.

I agree, with bearisgray. I think it is 5 colored pieces sewn together with a white piece sewn on the ends. So lets say you used 2" pieces of colored fabric then you may need 2 6" pieces of white. on the ends. After you have sewn all the pieces together, I think I would then place my fabric on a cutting mat on the 45 degree lines and place my ruler on the top where the white and color match leaving a 1/4 seam allowance and cut straight across so you have a 45 degree angle of white fabric. Then keep on cutting until you have enough rectangles. Then put them together in the pattern you wish. It looks like to me there are 8 rows with 4 blocks in each row. Just make sure your edges match.
I hope this is right but that is what it looks like to me. Strip quilting.

It looks like the quilt is made in strip consisting of starting off with a triangle of white fabric at the center of each strip. You can start off making strip sets (colored fabric) and cut the strips on a 45 degree angle by the width of the strip (tilt your head sideways and you should see a triangle). Then add a strip of the wider white strip and so on. It is an interesting quilt. The construction of each strip starts with the white triangle in the center of each strip and then the colored strip sent is added on each side of the triangle and so on.

I know nothing about the math part. Being of simple mind. I am wondering since it was Hoffman fabrics that were used. Do you suppose it was made with their pre cuts? Very little to no cutting. Bali pops and a turnover, maybe? Just and idea.
