So talk of the cutting. The ease of this is that you can do how ever many strips as you want to. As long as sewn they match the big side.
A cut 6 1/2 cut on the big side you can cut 3 2 1/2 inch strips for the other side.
The strips I found were cut 1 1/4 inch so the large side was cut at 2 3/4.

I know you sew strips together, then sew them to a wide strip the width of total. That's all I know....or think I know....so a class is needed for sure.

Tube quilting is making strips with the side seams done. Put the top and back, right sides together and a thin layer of batting, sew the side seams, turn right side out and you have a tube. Zig zag the pieces together and finish off the ends. No need for tying or quilting, all is done. A set of Fasturn tools comes in handy for this, it has five sizes of tube turners, from spagetti strap size to a couple inches wide.
