I'm curious ,how do you put all the blocks together?

Thanks!
You donīt go all the way to the edge, I leave about 1/2" around the border so that I can machine stitch the top piece to the next top piece and then I hand sew the 2 backing parts together .....Does that make sense, probably as clear as mud. Mine isnīt finished yet but will post a pic when I do. Run out of the backing fabric and have to wait till next week or maybe maņana to get some more :( Elle
