It looked like you quilted onto squares (what happens with the raw edges that are uneven when you quilt over top of them? Just don't worry about them? After you cover the whole block, i am guessing that you use your rotary cutter to trim all the sides. This may all sound so trivial, but I am such a beginner. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I cut squares of batting. I press and trim off extra bits before putting the quilt top together. I need to also make strips for any sashing or border I make. The backing is the same as any other quilt, but you don't need another batting. Yo are very welcome. I had really good help getting started with my quilting. You'll pass it on too.
