It is the term used for (paper-pieced) blocks made of narrow strips of fabric. Here they are the diaonally striped blocks.

Thank you and as I see Martine has answ. your ques re a string quilt. They are great for using up small pieces of scraps. Grandmother always said. "Waste not want not and you can use what you normally would discard when you do a string block.

Thank you, I am familar with paper piecing but I use it when I am creating a pattern. But I can see how you can use up small pieces when you have a foundation.

Thans much dear. There's a story behind this. when I delivered it I was attacked and bitten by their dog, have been on antibiotic for 7 days and now they tell me I must have some surgery done to remove dead flesh from around my ankle and start wound care. It simply has gotten worse and worse and is very painful.
