The couple best things I took away from Judy Martin's instructions were to be precise in cutting a 1/4 inch AND to buy those drawer organizers to put my strips in. That quilt had something like 25 darks and 17 lights. She pre-cuts her smaller cuts but I did not. I cut them as I needed them from the strips.
I bought several drawer organizers and laid my 1 1/2 inch strips out in color organized by value. Otherwise I dont know how I would have kept 10 strips of 42 colors organized. That way when I needed a very dark green I could just reach into the far left of the organizer, medium dark green was the middle, etc. I could rotely just place them right back.
The only other thing I thought of was clothes hangers with clothes clips.
