Great video for those of us afraid of FMQ
This is the first time I've seen this approach, and I *think* I can handle it

This is an excellent video. I think the idea of "bulk" at the seams deters quilters from using this technique. Wendi shows us that, with a good press, the seam lies flat without bulk. I'm going to try this since I quilt all my quilts using FMQ. Thanks for posting the link!

This is a good idea. I'm trying to decide what to do with my BoTM squares, since some need a lot of decorating and some very little. Also, some barely have the 1/4" on the points and I could sew the seam a little smaller this way. Thanks for sharing.

I think after the top is pieced, she quilts it to the backing with some simple stitch in the ditch down the main seam lines, then binds in the traditional way, I'd guess.
