This is the second quilt that I have created the blocks using this technique, but I don't know how to describe it. I'm sure the process has a name. I feel confident that someone will be able to identify the name if I can communicate my process coherently. It starts with a square base piece, and then I stitch a scrap of fabric, press, and trim. Then add next strip of scrap on top of that one, stitch, press, trim, repeat until section is filled. TIA

Looks like foundation strip piecing. Not sure if that is what it is actually called

Could we see a finished block please? It is definitely a type of foundation piecing.

I agree that it is foundation piecing.

Yup. It's foundation piecing. Sometimes called stitch and flip.

A variation of strip piecing IMHO. Would be an interesting finish and about out of the ordinary. Thanks for the mini tutorial.

Seems you might be making a 'crumb' quilt. They're made by sewing scraps of fabric into blocks. It can be done with or without a foundation.

Looks like start of Eastern Sun Rise block , by Happy Turtle.

Also called string piecing on a foundation. Bonnie Hunter does this a lot, but usually with a paper foundation.
