My pleasure! I'm happy I could help.

I'm not sure I can explain this right but this is the way I did it. On the right and left of each block, I put a black sash on, then sewed the four big blocks side-to-side to make one long row. I then sashed all across the top of each row (4 rows in all). I put one last sash on the bottom row, then added a blue border all around. I didn't QAYG anything but the blocks and it turned out fine.

I just got to thinking....I made my black strips for sashing at 1 1/2" so there is only a 1" sash between blocks. Maybe that is why it didn't matter if I batted them. Who knows? :)

I am doing a QAYG a totally different way, because of the way I had to do them I couldn't do them this way. I will be trying this way when I make a block suitable for it.
Thanks for this tute.

I love this! I am going to try it because I need to make my kids twin quilts for their beds. Anyone get a Fun and Done batting buddy? I'm thinking of getting one with a pattern but didn't know if you all thought it was a waste?

Melissa Lynn--in answer to your question, yes, your hubby is very cute! He looks kinda like Vin Diesel! (I'm old enough to be his grandmother, so I can speak freely!)

Hugs,

I'm starting my first quilt as you go and was wondering how do you attach borders? All the tutorials and all only explain to use the fabric from the outer block as your binding. Thanks for the help.
