Do you mean the string quilt that you sew 2 1/2" strips together end to end and then cut about 10" off one end. Then you fold stip in half and sew sides together. You keep on folding and sewing until you get the size that you want. This is also called the "1600 foot '" quilt. When you are done the seams should be staggered. No other cutting involved. A stash works great or yoiu can buy 2 1/2" set to give you a start.
