Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot coming from a fellow quilter. This is not strip-pieced. It is constructed completely from 1 1/2" squares, used in identical sets of fours. The nicest part about this particular method is that you only press one time --- right before you're ready to add a row to the center. The strips are identical no matter which way you turn them, so its okay to press to one side, then they fit snugly together.

I just want you to know that now I'm saving all my tiny scraps!!! I've already made tons of HST at 1 1/2". THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!! I've got a small plastic bag already 3/4's full. I guess it'll be years before I get enough to make something with them though. I have a stack of scraps that I'm going to cut on down so maybe it won't take years, but close to it.
