I have a collection of Ohio Star quilt block samples. Each sample block is a finished quilted piece. I thought about sewing one block to another with a zigzag stitch, but I'm concerned it won't be a strong enough seam for a lap quilt.
Is there another method of sewing them together that would be stronger/more durable?
Should I relegate this project to wall art and table runers only?
Thank you for your advice.

Yes they alread have a binding.
