I've already done a stupid thing. Instead of cutting selvidge to selvidge I cut the other way. Now of course when you measure selvidge to selvidge the fabric isn't as wide. Is this going to mess things up? Will I need to order another piece of this particular color?

It is helpful to have an area where you can sort the strips in order and hang up. A fold up drying rack helps.
I find the most difficult part making these type qyuilts is to keep the strips in order. So, anything you can have will help.

In theory as long as you have enough strip sets you should be ok. Do you still have enough strips - or if you cut them all the same you should have enough anyway - your strip sets will just be longer so you can make more slices out of each one. you still have the same amount of fabric. Those are my initial thoughts anyway... you may get some other thoughts though

I agree and think you should be ok....although since you started cutting end to end and not selvage to selvage, you may want to do the same with all of the fabrics, that way the strips are all the same length. You don't want to waste any fabric or have to buy more. You won't end up with the same number of strip sets, but this is ok as they will be longer.
