  1. Sew a red, outer sashing strip lengthwise to one side of a dark sashing strip. Sew a second outer strip to the opposite side of the dark strip.

  2. Press seam allowances towards the dark strip.

  3. Square up one end of the strip set. Cut as many 8-1/2" long segments from it as possible.

  4. Sew remaining sashing strips together in the same way to make a total of 10 long strip sets.

  5. Cut a total of twenty-four segments from the strip sets.
