I would like to try this to practice FMQ skills as I am brand new at this. I have been afraid to even try this so I've ony used stitch-in-the-ditch. Would I be able to FMQ each block separately and then add borders and join them together? This way if I goof up I would not ruin the whole quilt. If this is a good plan could you tell me how you joined your blocks? I noticed you have what looks like a zig-zag stitch on the back of your blocks along the pink strip. Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.
