Oh yeah and the quilt is just gorgeous~she should love it!!!
There are NO dumb questions..... once u get all the blocks made, I pulled the tops up ( the puffy part) and then simply butted the squares up to eatch otehr and zigsaged the edges of teh base of each sq together..... Each block makes it's own back, u stuff it with a sq of batting and then when u gather the top edges and draw string it up u take a couple of tack stitches down thru all layers , thus creating the " quilting" for thsi block...
it really is easier thanit looks....
