But you don't. That's the beauty of the method.
Make your 4PP however you normally would.
Let's say it comes out to 7" unfinished.
For your batting and backing, cut 8" or 9" squares.
Put your block on top, and quilt away, whether FMQ or straight rays, or circles, or WHATEVER you want to quilt.
Then you trim the little sandwich block to a perfect 7". The extra batting/backing is tossed.
When you've got all the blocks quilted and trimmed, then you can lay them out so they are pleasing to your eye.
And then use the method demonstrated in the video, or one you've used before.
And if you're really hesitant about the quilting, you could probably get away with just SITD on the seam lines - a big cross. Another option is a nice wavy stitch if your machine has one (similar to the Bernina #4) which could create interest on the front AND the back.
I would probably stay stitch around the little sandwich if that were all the quilting, just so I don't have anything flapping and getting caught while attaching the sashing strips.
