The QUID program is from the Almanac Quilt series. Her last episode is the one you are asking about. She bar tacked at each point where the sashing intersected with the block once she got the quilt "birthed" and straightened. This joined all three layers together so it shouldn't look puffy. I can see using SITD around each block also. It made it easier to machine quilt the blocks. I liked the way it made sections on which to machine quilt easier to manage. In So Cal we can get her on Sat am PBS and on Wed. on RFD through DISH TV. I tape her so I can see what helpful hints she gives.
