3. Cut the corners off each side and sew to the opposite side. You now have two resulting blocks that each have 4 stripes across each one.
I think you could probably figure out how to strip piece these, though, using the tube piecing method. The book I did this pattern from said to do it as stated above, so I just followed along with that.

After you make the original diagonal cut, do NOT open them up. Just make two more cuts (one on either side) parallel with that original cut so that it further splits those two triangle pieces you just created into now 4 strips.
