Sewbizgirl, I have not decided how to quit yet. I am not that good at it. Jmoore, I cut the strips myself and it was all from my stash except the light blue that I got from Missouri Star. It seems you don't have something you need when you use your stash. I used a companion angle ruler I had instead of the strip tube ruler I did not have. I tested on scraps first to get the correct cut. The blocks ended up 11 inches unfinished. I have too many rulers to just keep purchasing more.
