If I were to make a queen size quilt, would the extra fabric in the seams make a heavier quilt? Would I then use a very light batting? I am running my blocks to my local quilt shop to show them off.

A center template would be very helpful Good questions.

Having the 5" square off center would be cute too. Kind of a more wonky, whimsical look.

Thank you for the video!! I love this. I have lots of 5" squares and didn't know what to do with them.

Fold and sew

This is brilliant! I read your post yesterday and had to try it out. I am just about finished a sixteen block baby quilt top that I started yesterday afternoon at about 4:30. (just have to sew the rows together). I used this method for the block and then sashed them and used cornerstones. Turned out very well. I'll be doing this again for sure! Thanks for the link.
