Reminds me of a tumbler block (one up and one down) with the black sashing added and then squared it off at a certain size and then put all the blocks together. Maybe I need more coffee this morning??

It reminds me of the magic tile blocks. I still have the template pattern (brown paper) and directions (take the top piece from the first cut and place it at the bottom of the pile....) somewhere. I made one for someone and for the life of me, cannot remember who.

I think you can do it either way. I would probably do it your husband's way because I prefer to have straight (perpendicular) grain lines on the outside edges of blocks/units when possible.
If you plan to use the same color combinations more than once - or only once, as far as that goes - strip piecing could be done and cut at an angle like you mentioned.

There is no need to have all the squares cut at the same angle. I would lay eight squares of fabric in a pile, cut through all of them at an angle and then sew them back together with the slim black sashing, using two different prints for re-creating each square. Then take another stack of eight squares and cut at a different angle and repeat. This would give more interest to the whole quilt.

This one is a 9-P style, whereas the one Watson asked about is a 2-P joined as 4-Ps.
KrisB's link looks like the pattern, but without the black strips.
