Yes there is actually a way to make the afghan part of a quilt. You can actually sew a bigger square than what you need then sew fabric around it. If I can find a picture where I sewed crochet blocks with fabric blocks and still put a back on it just like a quilt. I love it. It's one of my favorites. I will look tomorrow and see if I can get a picture posted for you all. But to cut up someone elses work I could never do that. Ihope this helps.
