Hi Trolley station. Those are not thin stripes, they are pleats. The strips are sewn on and folded back to make pleats. The 1/4 inch seam is less important than getting the folding measurement right. Which was good for me cause it is my 2nd quilt and I was truely clueless on quilting.

The quilt doesn't need any batting because it's very thick from just the fabrics. I only need to sew the blocks together, back it and bind it. Oh and quilt it of course. I thought I might ditch stitch it.
