Amma--how much on the bias should you cut the blocks doing it this way? Just slightly or full-on bias placement? And don't they stretch when you do it like that with all the handling? Or do you quilt each block first before you assemble the whole top? I haven't made a rag quilt yet, but want to soon. Thanks!
