To make a strips set have your fabric laying out in order from #1 thru #11. leave them folded just as you cut them, have the fold up at the top (makes it easier to pick up the strips, and check back through your stack if you need to.
Pick up # 1 fabric, hold on to it and pick up #2, and put it to the back of # 1, go through the whole line of fabrics until you have picked up 11 fabric and have then in your hand. Number this stack #1, If you have so good pins, might be a good idea to pin this stack so it won't get jumbled or a strip drop out of the stack.

Each time you make a strip set, take one strip from the bottom of the run and put it on top.
Eleven strip sets to complete the quilt. I number the strip sets whatever fab number is to be on top.
# 1....2 sets....fabs #1-11.....need 70 inches to make next cuts
You will cut #1 sets into (20) 3 1/2 in strips
# 11...3 sets....fabs #11-10.....need 96 in. to make next cuts
Cut #11 sets into (32) 3 in strips.
#10.....2 sets...fabs #10-9...need 80 in. to make the next cuts.
Cut #10 sets into (32) 2 1/2 in strips.
#9.......2 sets...fabs #9-8....need 64 in. to make next cuts.
Cut #9 sets into (32) 2 in. strips.
#8........1 set....fabs #8-7....need 48 in. to make next cuts.
Cut #8 in (32) 1 1/2 in. strips. You can get the extra few cuts from left over from another strip set.
#7........1 set....fabs #7-6...need 32 in. to make next cuts.
Cut #7 into (32) 1 in strips.
# 6...... fabs 6-5.....need 16 in. to make the next cuts.
Cut (16) 1 in. strip. You will have to get these from left overs from another set.
==================
note: 3 strips sets equals about 120 inches wide, I only needed 96 inches to cut all my #11 3 in strips, so I cut one in half and rearranged to use it as #6 that required 16 inches.
I'm posting another image of one section of the quilt design so you all will have a reference as to where your #1 fabric or any of the others will be and how it moves around the quilt.
If I'm making the circle & diamond pattern I pay particular attention to Fab #1, Fab #11 and Fab #6. look on the patten and see if you can tell why I think the placement of these fabrics are inportant.
One section of the quilt...Make four of these
