the 'slivers' being cut on a diagonal does not create any *usual* bias edge issues- you cut rectangles, then cut them from bottom right to top left, fold them in half- wrong sides together and insert the raw edges into the fold of your background fabric & sew a seam---so nothing bias--- just simple straight stitches- if you can press a straight fold you can easily make sliver quilt blocks- they are really a simple block.
