It is finished in the back with a plain one piece like we would do on a quilt.
I don't know if it was paper piecing or not. Originally I thought I was ordering an enamel pin done in a log cabin. I was quite surprised and delighted to get what was sent!
When I try it for myself I think I will sew 2 wider strips together and then trim on both sides before joining with two other trimmed strips together. Does that make sense? Anyway, I will let you know.

Again thanks everybody. I really enjoy working with small pieces. I just finished piecing a candle mat with a pink bright hopes block for my friend who has just been diagnosed with cancer. Will post at a later time.
