I guess that it all depends on how accurate you need to be for your pattern. I find that foundation peiceing gives me sharper corners and more accurate piecing especially if things need to fit properly. With scrappy patterns you can get away with it as you can cut the blocks down to fit and it would not affect the pattern much. Hope this helps.

2nd..If I understand...you just grabbed 2 strips and sewed it together. You didn't use a foundation (paper) for attaching the strips together. Why do some patterns have you use foundation paper to sew 2 strips together and some do not?
Have a great day!
