I learned this on my first quilt, which consisted of 22 WOF strips. Very pretty, but lots of frogging (rip-it, rip-it).

What you say is perfectly true, but the way you said it made me ROFLOL.

try cutting the length of the fabric instead of the width, this will lay flatter, also when sewing strips together alternate the rows i.e. where you end sewing row one, start row 2 at that end and vice versa this will keep the strata straight and not curved
