I have used coping strips on lotto blocks, that never seem to be the same size.

The book SETTING SOLUTIONS by Sharyn Craig shows this idea, plus lots of other ideas for working with blocks of different sizes. It's a great book that I keep going back to whenever I'm stuck and need some new inspirations.
I've never heard of "coping strips" ( sounds like something I could use!). How do they differ from a sashing strip. Just remember it takes me awhile to catch on so type slowly! ;-)
