Oh my goodness no! Take two squares, rectagles...whatever you like...wrong sides together with some batting sandwiched in between and sew an " X ". Going from one corner to an opposite corner. Then when all your blocks are done...arrange how you like and sew them all together. No border/binding required. Just sew around the outside about 1/2 inch. Then your gonna clip all your seems. Wash and dry and your done! Let me know if i could be of any more help.
You can do it this way or my way; I use the accuquilt cutter and then all I do is the sandwiching, sewing the X and joining them together. They are the easiest things to do; you can use flannel, fleece or even demin and produce great quilts. Your sandwiching can be with or without batting. I then applique designs on the back to make it a reversible quilt.
