Well - it is an Amish design (according to my Amish quilt calender hanging on the wall!!!)

Yes I strip pieced it - 1 3/4 inch strips in fives and then measured an average width (turned out to 6.5 inch if I remember) then cut a bunch of black WOF strips that wide and sew both edges, right sides together to the coloured pieces then vut up with the 45 degree line on the 24 inch ruler - easy!!
