It's always nice when exes can remain friends!

Your quilt is gorgeous!

It's beautiful! You must be some woman - making a quilt for your daughter's ex's wedding.

I think you were very generous to make such a lovely quilt for an ex. I'm an ex too. Will you make me one too?

yes, the "batting buddy" is a square template surrounded by a one inch frame. You cut your batting to fit in the frame, cut your back square the same size as the frame and fit your block to the batting in a quilt as you go block. I used it to center my finished block.... then I quilted them. The back becomes your sashing when you join the blocks. Very quick and pretty forgiving too!! I will try this again. I just cut my 9 patch straight down the middle in both directions and turned two opposing corners. that's it! The 9 patch went: blue, white, blue: white red white: Blue white blue
