Question on a sampler quilt?
I did this sampler quilt as my first quilt in a quilting class this past summer. 
(I've shown it before) I jumped the gun when I started it and bought a second set of fabrics to make the exact same quilt for a friend of mine. (So wish I hadn't. I'm not loving some of the squares.)
I'm still working on the squares so I'm not at the point of basting it yet, but I can't get it out of my head that when it was time to put the above quilt together, I had to cut the batting into four pieces and somehow attach my four rows. I just don't remember exactly how I am suppose to do it. And the directions in the book SUCKS.
When the time comes, can I just baste it the same way I did my YBR quilt? Or do I HAVE to cut the batting into four pieces the way I did in class? I am drawing such a blank right now on how to do it.

I feel so stupid that I can't remember all the details considering it was just this summer. I'm guessing it was. Here is a pic I took when I was at class that I had posted on FB. It said that this row was quilted. 
Do I HAVE to do it the same way as in class? Boy oh boy...do I wish I'd taken more pictures so I could remember.

Forget how to do it, why were you told to cut your batting to start with?
