You are correct, though - - this could take some time! <wave>
Omak, one problem doing this is that your string pieced squares will be "thicker" than all the other half-squared triangles etc. that don't have that extra backing layer of fabric. I just did something very similar...and it doesn't work out well in the final product if you have some blocks double thickness and some blocks not..do you understand what I mean?
I do mine with foundation fabric, but I do open the seams for these blocks when I put them together in the quilt. That seems to take care of the problem. I wonder what Friday will be. Inquiring minds want to know...
