Heather I know what a peeper border is as I am south of the border to you - NSW - and I have put the link below as it is easier than me trying to explain. One of the ladies in my quilt group has just finished a quilt using this method. So this is what a peeper is to us in the Land of Oz

There is a method of making log cabin blocks using folded strips. I think it is called Foldy Log Cabin by Donna Posten? Basically a sew and flip method.

I had to go looking around- just google Foldy Stuff or Donna Poster (not Posten). Very neat patterns, and easy as pie! I had seen her on a quilt show several years ago, and she now has many more designs adapted for the method- curved log cabin, pineapple, hexagons, etc. using iron on templates. No need for batting as the blocks use a bit more fabric than conventional sewing. Very innovative, great for beginners as well. What a fun version of peepers! I hope this is what you are looking for.

I'm glad that both of you aren't the only ones either... and that I'm not the only one from NY!
