Are you doing the CW's by hand or machine?
Have you already cut your fabric?
I don't know which stitching part you're up to in the construction process.
Here's an in depth tutorial (if you don't have a start point yet):

Also, check out youtube. There are a few videos there that take you through the steps.

I am doing it by cutting the squares and ironing them down to size, then attaching them by machine. At that point, I'll add the windows and stitch by hand, and that's where I'm uncertain. It must muse be a simple running stitch right? Off to check your link now, thank you!

Kim, I just use the same stitch as you would use to applique. Its just a short stitch under the main fabric then up into the edge (fold) catching just a few threads and back down directly below it again into the main fabric.

use the same stitch used to stitch on your bindings- that one is an invisible stitch.
small stitches- close to the folded edge- there are lots of tutorials on hand stitching binding- same technique
