OK, hold on a second here. It’s sort of Foundation String piecing, but not really. Foundation string piecing is using a square of paper (which you later remove) or fabric (which becomes part of the quilt) and sewing strips of fabric to cover the ENTIRE size of the foundation. You then trim it to the size block you want.

You’re showing something where you don’t cover the entire foundation. Is there a picture of the finished block?

Here's a pic of my design wall. Thanks for all the input! I'm not following a pattern. I just extrapolated from pic of Eastern Sunrise block by Happy Turtle. The link was not working, so I applied this technique to replicate. Not sure if it is the correct way to make this, but it works for me. I just don't know how to describe the process.

Unfortunately, the site wants you to log in with your Google account before you can download the pattern. I really like the idea since I do a lot of string piecing and this is something different. Guess I'll get out the ole graph paper. Might as well upsize a bit while I'm at it.

I rather doubt anyone will be able to download the pattern from that particular website. It appears as though the blogger has to send it to you after you log in with your Google credentials, and the blog looks abandoned. The most recent post was over 4 years ago.
