I'm interested to know too,.
You sew all of your blocks in to pairs. Then you sew the pairs in to giant four patches. Then you sew the giant four patches in to even bigger four patches until you have the quilt in quarters. Sew the top half together and then the bottom half together and then sew the two halves together. You only have one full width seam and your quilt comes out squarer and all your block seams match perfectly.

Number each row and block and press all the odd row seams to the left and all the even row seams to the right.
