There is a good Tutorial on You Tube. It is called "Sew Easy Strata Star". It is almost Identical to the one we are talking about here but a different name. It uses 7 strips instead of 8 and the girl shows you exactly how to cut the strips and how to sew them together. I have a pattern for New Orleans Puzzle (same design) but the Instructions are so difficult to understaned so I found this "Sew Easy Strata Star Tutorial" on You Tube and shows it SOOOOO easy to do.
