Love those bags! Trying to imagine how to quilt front, bottom and back which have been basted to the batting.....I am visualizing 3 sections, each basted to their batting, but how do you put them together w/o seams being really thick?

You sew the top front, the bottom and the top back in one long rectangle. Then pin or baste it to a large piece of batting. Mount it on the long-arm frame and quilt using a panto. It was hard doing two at a time because I couldn't move from one to the other without catching the edge in the free motion foot. But it worked and was way easier than sewing cross hatching on each bag one at a time.
