I sewed the blocks into strips as normal then batted and backed. When I quilted the strip, I stopped and inch short of the edge. Then I joined the strips RST - the top- turned it over, trimmed the batting so it butted up, then folded one edge of the backing over the other and slip stitched down.

then finished off the quilting!
