yes. this is certainly one of the popular ways to construct the blocks.
unfortunately, it doesn't "work" for me as an individual. i found it a bit cumbersome and inconvenient. however, i know for a fact that lots of quilters very much enjoy doing it that way. :-)
my favorite patterns/methods are those that offer several different ways to get to the same result. i'll be sure to add some photos of the sew-first-cut-later method, too. the more we have to choose from, the better.
thanks for reminding me. :thumbup:
