It's 5 color strips for each letter or it depends on wether you just want one color for the center star and a couple more for the center also. I used 5 colors for each letter and set them out and made 5 strada sets and I made my fabric a little bit longer than what she says as I had two stradas that I could not cut 8 strips from after making the stradas. Yes you will be cutting 8 strips from each strada set and then line them up according to how you chose your colors and how you labled them. For instance I labeled mine A,B,C,D,E. Then on the next stradas I went to B,C,D,
E,A then the next one was C,D,E,A,B and the next was D,E,A, B,C and the last was E,A,B,C,D and they lined up just right. Give it a try it'll work out fine. I was a little bit confused too as she said to mae 2 sets, but it is 5 strada sets and 8 strips frome each strada set for the star. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay.....The pattern does say how long and how wide to make the strada strips and the boarders and the squares and the like, but not the yardage.

Yes, I forgot to write how much I used of each fabric....sorry....I just took the fabric I had in my stash and started cutting. I also didn't count the strip sets,I just started with making two of each and then started sewing the star pieces....for sure, I had to make more then only two strip sets....I never cut all strips first,just to keep my scraps as low as possible...I really hope, the tutorial is not to confusing....It was my first one.

OMG... I am a realitive new quilter and just finished a queen size lone star quilt. By the time I was done- I hated the quilt and thought I had taken on way to much. I was so proud when I finished the star and thought I had it made until I attempted the in set seam back ground. wish I had seen your tute a few days ago.
