I have made a couple of baby quilts this way. I did not use the turn method, I just sewed the top and bottom together with the raw seams on the outside and then joined them together when done. I used really cheap lightweight fabric on the back and then put other backing on. I have seen them done where you use good backing and then when you sew them together, make a ragtime. Good luck. Didn't seem like mine were heavy, but only baby size.
