Very pretty quilt, too!
DJ, you sew the batting edge 1/2" away from the edge that will be seamed to the quilt. You need that big a gap because you will lose 1/4" when you seam it on, and then when you turn it you need the other 1/4" of the gap for the block edge to lie in. Everything ends up lying flat, with no gaps and no bump. Trust me, it works!
