Top sew the blocks, Place them back to back and stitch close to the edge of the quilted block. Attach as many blocks together as needed for the width of the quilt. Then, press open the seams where the backing pieces are sewed together. Then each edge should be folded under over the edge of the quilt block and stitched down. This like a flat felled seam except that the seam is pressed open. Make as many rows as needed. Then sew the rows together in the same manner. When the quilt is as large as desired, turn the raw edge up over the blocks and stitch down. Your quilt is completed. What I like about it is that it is all done on the sewing machine.
That looks like a great method to use and I just may give it a try very soon. Have some things to finish up but think I may tackle this technique and see how it works. Do you have a photo of one you could share with us?

thanks
Patty
