That's all there is to it. I crammed the strips close together to make it really plush. I drew a few lines on the towel to stay straight. Then if if I got to going wonky I filled in with more strips to get it fairly straight again. I found towels at Wamart that had vertical texture evenly spaced. I bought several of them to try. It's hard to mess it up. Start with a wash cloth first to see how the strips look and how close you want them sewn. Make it into a small pillow.
