They are only held together with 1 or 2 stitches at the point. It can make an interesting quilt. The blocks are not on point, just look that way. Hopefully you can see the black outline of a square in the picture. Ann

Newbee--I just removed a customer quilt from the long arm and went out and bought new backing cause that wide back she brought was just NOT going to be straightened! Even just sewing the top seam to attach to bat/backing created a tuck! I had already straightened and cut and straightened for about an hour yesterday and again today and while on the way into the city for appt. decided to heck with it--I was not going to battle this quilt the entire top when I know the problem is the backing. So I'll hang onto the backing for something smaller that I can get it straightened.

Kind of sounds like a technique I could use!
