Or is this just "English paper piecing"? I though the type of piecing where you used the pattern all drawn out on the paper and stitched the fabric to the "wrong" side of the paper was called foundation piecing.

Maybe the terms are interchangeable?????
There are actually three different techniques that you have just described. Foundation piecing, English paper piecing and Paper piecing.
