New word: c.o.p.i.n.g. I am think this is coping as in coping in a bad marriage. She talks about a coping strip or piece or border? I'd rather all it a miserable mis-alignment.
I'm sure one of you has tried this.[QUOTE]

In the “old days” when blocks were not the same size (as an example: an inch +/-) the quilter would add a “strip” of fabric to make the blocks the same size. These added strips were called “coping strips”. Very common to see in vintage quilts. Usually this happened only on one or two blocks in the same quilt.
Now we (most people) have an abundance of fabric so we will remake the block to get it to The same size as the other blocks, etc.
