I use a method which is similar to foundation piecing. You make each block with the printed fabrics, a batting and a foundation of any light colored fabric such as muslin or old sheets. Trim to exact size and finish the edge by zigzagging around the outside. For the first block you put your backing (same size as the block) on the back before finishing the edge. This are joined to the next block or sashing by laying the two blocks right sides together and putting a backing fabric right side facing the backing on the first fabric. Stitch 1/4 inche from edge. Then flip the block and the backing over so they are wrong sides in and right sides out. You continue to join pieces for as much quilt as you want. This is similar to the charity quilts that are made by sewing larger pieces together and flipping them to sew the next piece. I have heard it called flip and sew. The seams to connect the blocks are thicker than a normal quilt, but it is so much easier and less expensive than paying someone to quilt it for you. If you trim the batting around the edges before you finish the edges of the blocks, it will eliminate some of the bulk.
