I have always admired this pattern but stayed away, as it looks very complicated.
There is actually an easier way to do it without cutting and arranging the pieces one by one.
Watch the video below for full instructions.
Do not remove them from the stack.
You need three strips of each color.
Remove the excess pieces.
You are going to sew them just as how they come off from the roll.
Step 2:
Take one strip from each color grouping and sew all the pieces together.
see to it to alternate the sewing direction for each strip.
Press the unit flat.
Repeat 2 more times to make 3 units.
check that to place it beside the lightest strips on both units.
Fold in half, right sides together, and sew the edges together to make a tube.
Step 4:
Cut the third unit in half.
Add a 9-inch contrasting fabric in the center of the two pieces.
The first piece will have 11 strips and the other will have 12 strips.
verify to place it beside the lightest strip on both sides.
Place the ends on top of each other, right sides together.
Sew them together to make a tube.
Step 5:
Fold the bigger tube in half twice.
check that it is nice and flat.
Stack them according to size.
Step 6:
Arrange the strips just like in the photo below.
it’s crucial that you tear each one apart depending on the color indicated on the chart.
It moves one piece at a time.
It will not be the same for each strip so take that in mind.
verify that all the seams are ironed in one direction and the other row in the opposite direction.
Sew them together, alternating the direction after each one.
