I have to line it up before I quilt it though, otherwise the quilting will look awful on the back.
This being a rag quilt, you actually sandwich each square, I made the 4 patch, which was 9 1/2 ", placed a piece of 8" batting between it and another 9 1/2" piece of flannel. To get the two colors on the back I just backed two of the four patch sets with the green and the other two with the white and then just sewed them together so that the backs would checkerboard. The "sandwiched" squares are then sew back to back with each other with a 1/2" seam. I then clipped all the seams so they would "unravel" hence "rag"
