Trip Around The World...showed how to do it by a lady who had a fabric shop on the highway. This was in 1988, the year of transition. Nothing was said about 1/4 inch seams. It was done in country blues and pinks...so dated. It turned out pretty well. She helped me do the batting, backing and borders. Thien I did 'tacking' in a block pattern. I haven't done any quilting since, so am looking forward to getting it right.
