Basically, you're matching up the other side of the strip! Ingenious :)

But even so, if given the proper tools, it seems like there should be less than plus/minus 1/8 inch (or more) variations in the strip widths.

ok, you have inspired me to finish a quilt that someone gave up on and donated to be a charity quilt, it is all flannel(sigh) and it was dusty so someone put it thru a washer and the 1/8 seams opened (sigh) and the corner blocks shredded (sigh) have resewn all the seams, and will make the corners into a snowball type block - then attach the borders - the backing is too small so will find some flannel at joannes will have to wash it but will serge the edges first! then i will layer and quilt it and use the backing piece to make binding----ok, i will do this, it will build caracter-----and it is a pretty peach tones (smile) someone will cuddle a baby (keep that mental picture)
