My first QAYG project was "the Betsy Quilt" by Valori Wells. The top comes together in three large pieces so I quilted each piece separately leaving 1.5 inches on that side that I would connect, then I put two pieces right sides together and did the top, the batting, and finally the backing. Worked very well and I only had to do it twice. If you look there's a line on the back where I stitched thru all the layers, I was able to hide it in the front but it shows on the back. My daughter didn't care, she sleeps with it every night
I recommend the pattern, easy for beginners and a great way to use solids or fun large prints.
