I have attached a block from the Rose of Sharon quilt that is a 14" square. I still need to applique the pieces down but I am going to make 4 of them exactly like this one and would like to quilt them each separately and then join them after they are quilted. (I figure if I start FMG'ing on a smaller project I might have better luck) I guess it would be a quilt as you go.

My problem is I don't know how to do this. How much seam allowance do I need to leave on the fabric and the batting? I have the Rose of Sharon DVD that explains how Sharon does it but she uses a sashing and I don't want to in this case.

Can you recommend a book or DVD that would help me with this?

I hope I am making sense and I know that a lot of you wonderful quilteres will be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for your help
