You can go to How-to-Quilt.com. They have had segments on quilt and you go. I do most of my quilts this way and it is fun and easy.

I've made a few like this. I found a wonderful technique on www.treadleon.net. Look in "The Quilt Shop" then under "Joining blocks". This is my preferred technique because there is no hand sewing the blocks together. It's fun and quick and makes a two sided quilt.

Just cut your borders, quilt them as you like, then use the same connecting technique. It works!
