Strata has been used as a term for strip sets at least as far back as the early 90's when Bargello quilts came on the scene. Marilyn Doheny did a lot of work in developing strata quilts, both bargello and optical illusion, before Colleen Wise and Karen Combs came on the scene.

Thanks again for ALL the info. Very interesting.... I finally "got it"! I was looking at the drawings thinking the strips were sewn end to end since that is the way they looked (to ME!) not long SIDE BY SIDE. Had I turned the drawing the other way I would have realized it. Duh! just my old eyes, I guess... So ! problem solved! You guys are aLL TERRIFIC...
