With the quilt "fun and done" method, there is not fabric connecting the blocks. You cut and quilt your block sandwich with the backing 2 inches larger then the block and batting (Block and Batting are the same size).
Two of these sandwiches are sewn together back to back, the seam allowance is on the front and forms a sash around the block by folding it in half and top stitching. With a quilt you have the batting and backing reinforcing the pieced block so they are less likely to pull apart. I was just wondering if it would hold up to daily use on a bed.
