Following the previous steps I showed after trimming the batting 1/4" less than the top square.
I was ready to attach the blocks to make a row.

I suppose there is a lot of trimming in this process but not a lot of trimming waste.
I am assuming that the reason I would not pre cut my 1/4" in less than my top square
because there is no way to be certain how much the quilting of the square will effect the
the batting size. I hope this makes sense.

I gauged where to stop and start my join seams based on the batting.
This was the step I was missing which caused my problem in my first attempt.

My thinking is that Im sure there are better more precise tutorials on this
method that are just not available freely on the internet or I just did not
happen across them. Also in hindsight I did not think that the out side squares should
not of had the batting trimmed 1/4" less than the top square. Best bet is to trim the batting
as you go and only trim the batting 1/4" less on joining sides of the squares.

This method is do able if your quilt design does not allow for sashing in between the squares.
I personally could not imagine myself wanting to attempt to make a full size quilt using this method.
The sectional quilt as you go method in my opinion would be a better option for quilts with no sashing.

I will demonstrate and attempt to explain the sectional quilt as you go method next. Questions or comments
on the No Sashing QAYG method as I am calling it are welcomed.
