Strip Piecing

By Janet Wickell, About.com

Definition: A type of patchwork where multiple fabrics are sewn together to create a composite unit that can be cut apart to yield pre-sewn segments. Strip piecing eliminates the need to work with small, individual pieces of fabric.

See an example of a strip pieced quilt block.
