Default Have a question about String Quilts.

I get the newsletter from Quilter's World magazine, and today they had an article about making string quilts. You can read it here:

After reading it, I'm totally confused. Basically it says that you stack your backing, batting, and then put the string quilted piece on top... okay, I get that. But then how would you finish the quilt? If the backing is already attached also, you'd have to put sashing in between all the pieces because of the raw edges, right?

Perhaps it's because today is my birthday and I'm a year older (ahem), but I am just not getting a visual of this in my head!

I've been saving all of my little scraps to make one of these scrappy string quilts, so I want to make sure I understand the how-tos. I'm sure there are lots of string quilters around these parts who can come to my aid!
