I'm not familiar with K3n's no sew backing with QAYG - which is probably why I came up with my solution. It still needs sewing on the back, but its on the batting, not the backing fabric. I have one boarder done and ready to attach, and the second border sewn together, but not tidied up on the back yet. I'm not going to be doing much today, I have a dental problem, and need to get an extraction at lunchtime, Ugh!

Is it time for week 23 yet? If so, shall I post it?
This is her method if you want to see for future reference:

I don't mind hand stitching the back strips on though, so sometimes I do that too. I think your method is nice too since you get a complete back instead of pieces that you need to do for QAYG. But it's nice to see the quilting on the back as well. I haven't decided yet if I will hand quilt or machine quilt, but I guess I have a bit to decide since I haven't even started yet!! :)

Cheers!
