I made a fun and done tablerunner with my quiltgroup and most of them, if not all had the blocks not line up exactly. I made it again and decided not to use the batting and back material at all. So I just made the face material design and when all the blocks were stitched together I put batting and backing on. Basically, I just quilted it as I would normally make one. I like it much better. No big seams at the front either.
