I used the instructions on this video -
http://youtu.be/I_qyb7XxY4k. I followed their directions except for not using 1/2 inch seam allowances. I also marked the fold line on the back by marking a line 7/8 inches from my outermost SID, pressing the fabric, then glue basting it. I then SID to seal up that seam. I am having problems with doing this because I have to leave 1 inch on the top and bottom of the block so I can join the rows. I need to figure out how to do this so it looks good and doesn't leave unstitched regions. See
this post for pics and more explanation on the problems I'm talking about. I'm almost to decide that hand stitching the blocks together on the back might be the best way to go, and just SID the rows together.
