Coping strip?

HAH! That's great!

I think coping is the "right" answer, as evidenced by quiltsfor's link. But my term for them is spacers.

Coping strips?

I was told they are called "coping strips."

Maybe we should forget about the correct terminology and just call them (and every other fudge factor) a design decision.

Ok, here's another wrinkle--If I need to add strips to a block, I say that it has been 'fleshed out', in that it has been made larger. But I would never say they were 'fleshing out strips'. Yup 'design decision' or 'enhancing the block' have my vote.

I call them coping strips.

My grandmother who was a quilter called them block extender strips and used them quite offten when she didn't have enough of the fabric to make the block bigger for adding a quarter inch seam.
