The particular quilt along that triggered my thoughts involves solid colors, in a very regular pattern, and would take less than 2 hours to piece if you strip pieced it.
Cutting out hundred of tiny squares -- yikes, I don't even want to think about the time.
This happens to be a very popular modern quilter, and she's doing her thing, so more power to her -- I'm not going to try to tell her how to do what she's tutoring the rest of the world on. But I have to wonder why make it harder than it has to be. I know for me, my accuracy is much better with strips too.
