The stripes are pieced together. Regarding the rules in most of the UK shows strippy quilts like this one are considered as wholecloths. The quilting makes the main design of the quilt, not the "piecing" - this the reason the organizer of the show informed me when I asked. As far as I know this is different to US shows.
