Not the dirty kind of stripping

The complicated part of the runner is finished! Once I got all the measurements right it all fit together with little problems along the way. Had a few times where the pinwheels were larger than the blanks but with a bit of careful pining, I minimised the pleat effects and got them together.
Here's what I did:

All the squares were sewn in strips according to the grand plan, if any overlapped with a large square pinwheel, I left them as much as strips as possible, sewing any single rows together and then onto the large squares (if that makes any sense!)
