I'm still working on the squares so I'm not at the point of basting it yet, but I can't get it out of my head that when it was time to put the above quilt together, I had to cut the batting into four pieces and somehow attach my four rows. I just don't remember exactly how I am suppose to do it. And the directions in the book SUCKS.

When the time comes, can I just baste it the same way I did my YBR quilt? Or do I HAVE to cut the batting into four pieces the way I did in class? I am drawing such a blank right now on how to do it.
