Thanks for posting the link to the trapunto Judy. I will be doing it in a very similar way on this quilt. I'll attach a pic of the design that I'm using . I will sew the center section together prior to sewing the poly batting to the blocks for this quilt because I'm not going to Quilt As You Go. So...after trimming the unwanted extra batting, I'll then quilt as normal.
