Cotton Theory is similar to this, but with Cotton Theory, both top and back pieces are cut one inch larger. The batt is placed between them and that piece is then quilted. She did the quilting with decorative stitches on the sewing machine. All pieces are done this way. If a square has strips around it, the square and each strip are cut one inch larger, the batt piece is centered between the top and back; it is quilted and then added. The seams are made in a very special manner to make "high-ways, freeways, one way streets and sidewalks". And you have to be very careful about your "intersections". There quilts are always reversible. They look good from both sides.

I made one this way and was glad I did.
