Am I right? I am dizzy just typing this. My abstract reasoning is really bad, girls. LoL!

Mary,
What a neat idea!! (To make the block by machine and then handquilt it to the batting and backing!) Can't wait to try this method....

Fun and Done Batting Buddy
I just saw a video of it being used by the lady from Bayside Quilting. The template is actually two square pieces. Actually a square within a square. If you have never done a "sew as you go"quilt this is the one to make and learn from. Do watch the video. And definitely order the templates: Fun and Done Batting Buddy. I am ordering mine today. There are other "sew as you go" patterns out there but definitely this one is for the beginner. She also has other patterns on her site.

This is a very old posting but the Fun and Done quilt is still popular. I took a class some years ago and have the templates. The quilt is very dense when finished. I would use the lightest batting or thin flannel for batting. The stitching looks best if the thread matches and sinks in the fabric. I think the lawn fabric from Connecting Threads would be perfect for this quilt. It's very lightweight.
