Google tube quilting - missourquilts.com has a tutorial on it - much easier to find though by googling. You take 2 or 3 strips of equal width sew them together. Then measure the resulting width and cut another fabric strip that size. You then sew it on both sides lengthwise- you get a tube - hence the name tube quilting ... and use a 45 degree line on a ruler to cut triangles. You get a square in a square pattern when the triangles are joined into a block.
Check it out !
