An example of the results would be my avatar quilt. However, there are many other patterns using the tube technique. If you want a better look, you could check this thread. Page 2 for a closer look, and Page 5 (or is it Pg 7?) for the pattern details.

So that you won't get confused .... you have the technique reversed. First you sew strips together, make a tube, then you make the blocks, that get joined together.
The Missouri link suggestd is a good one. PLus there are a gazillion more, if you check in with Mr. Google! :lol:
