I finished this one as a Christmas gift

I didn't get my info from a website exactly. I am a member on another forum and someone posted a tute there. It is really simple though. I just make my block like I always would. Then I cut the backing and batter 1-2" larger than the block. I spray baste them and quilt them.

When You put the blocks together you pin back the batting and backing, and sew just the front blocks toghether. I personally hand whipstitch the backs, but the can also be done by machine.

Your quilt is beautiful. I understand your method but I don't quite understand how you can quilt clear to the edge of the block (it appears you did) and still sew the fronts together. Did you do some more quilting after you had your blocks together? I'm confused about this one point.
