Don't be afraid to try it.It really is easy once you get the hang of it .Think of it as a sanwhich with the bottom square 2 inches bigger than the top,the batting same size as the top.( The top of my block is 10 " so my backing was cut 12") Lay your 10 inch square of BATTING on top of your 12 inch square of BACKING lay your strips of fabic or whatever pattern you want to make on your batting and sew thru all three layers(I used strips in mine so will give directions for strips) .Lay first strip with right side down. After you have sewed one side of strip using 1/4 " seam flip it to the other side,press ,then add second strip right sides together and sew again,continue untill you have the batting covered.Trim any batting Or fabric sticking out around the edges (takes care of the flappys) .
After you have first block to this stage,make another block the same way.When you have two blocks done join them by sewing only the BACKING part right sides together using a 1 inch seam.Press this seam open then fold in two on each side then sew one side to each block,sewing as close to edge as you can.You now have 2 blocks together and you just continue in same way for the whole quilt.
Is this clear as mud! Hope it helps a little anyway.
