I have written two emails to The Gingham Girls asking if it is possible to strip piece and sew in diagonal strips instead of their instructions, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. In fairness, they probably need more time to reply. I expect a prompt response, but they probably have more pressing business issues and will get back to me soon. I will give that plan a little time, then my plan B is to create a grid and map it out and physically manipulate pieces on the grid, so I can see how it works. Last summer I finished a quilt that was a nine patch and Irish chain. I did strip piecing and loved the process, so when I saw this pattern, I thought the construction would be about the same, but set on point. There are hundreds of tiny bias cut triangles with this method, each cut and sewn separately. There has to be a better way.
