I've recently seen several bloggers and "quilt along" online groups doing interesting (but easy) modern style quilts. These quilts would be very very easy to do with strip quilting methods. Yet the tutorial authors are having people cut hundreds of little squares (1.5 inches) and sew them together individually (machine work).
Do they honestly not know about strip piecing? Is there something about it that people don't like? Are the techniques protected by the originators? (that last one I find hard to believe, since it's become so pervasive, but maybe Judy Martin is a real stickler for protecting her ideas?)
Have you noticed this online? What do you think?
