    •Cut 7 (2¼") by fabric width binding strips.

    Completing the Strip Sets

    1. Sew an A strip to a B strip along length to make an A-B strip set; press seams toward A. Repeat to make a total of 13 A-B strip sets.

    2. Join the A-B strip sets to make an A-B section as shown in Figure 1.

    3. Join the A end of the A-B section with the B end to make a tube as shown in Figure 2; press seam toward A.

    4. Lay the tube on a cutting mat, aligning seams; trim one end to make a straight edge.

    5. Cut the tube into 13 (2½") loops as shown in Figure 3.

    6. Divide the loops into one pile of seven loops for W and one pile of six loops for X.

    7. Use a seam ripper to remove one B segment from the loops in the W pile leaving an A segment at each end of the strips. Trim both end A segments to 1½" as shown in Figure 4.

    8. Repeat step 7, removing one A segment from the loops in the X pile and trimming B to 1½" as shown in Figure 5.

    9. Set aside the W and X strips.

    10. Arrange and join the remaining A and B strips with the C and D strips to make a strip set as shown in Figure 6, placing D strips in order from dark to very light as shown; press seams toward darker fabrics.
