Default Dresden Plate Quilt

Hi, I have made several quilts (I still considermyself a beginner) but I do not send them out to be finished. I stitch in theditch or zig zag around my design (usually squares, triangles, etc.) tocomplete my “sandwich”. I am making a twin size quilt for my granddaughterusing the Dresden plate. I am making the 20 blades and sewing them together.
Here are my two questions: What I would like to do issew by machine the finished blades onto a 14” square, batting and the bottommaterial (sandwich) all at once (just following the points around and then addthe circle) How do I connect the finished squares (4 across and 5 down)? If Isew by machine the finished plate and middle onto a 14” block how do I finishthe final quilt? If I stich in a ditch the 14” squares, won’t this be too big(when the batting usually says10” apart)? Any help or suggestions would begreatly appreciated.
