In your original post I thought you were describing something where you quilt front back and batting together first, but I guess that was just for the first strip.

One more question- why not make your first strip twice as wide- you could do the right half and then flip it. Still keeps your work off to the left but saves you one join in your batting?
I did mention in the original post the quilt front block sewn directly to the batting. In this block I used the batting as foundation and then trimmed a 1/4 seam allowance. I would attach a bunch of this side-to-side for a row. No need to put batting between top and bottom now. This way if my blocks are not too big and/or I use flannel back I can skip the machine quilting altogether. Or I may just run a three lines about 1/2' apart down the middle of the row for machine quilting. I am not real familiar with uploading photos so may have to magnify to see.
