I am more than likely going to sew a big piece of pink gingham to cover the back. I'll show you some more pictures as I continue working on it.

Looking at the photos, this is what I was try to explain. Except Henry sewed the block. batting and backing with a 1/4 inch seam. I do just the Block..I have the backing material ,lets say 2 inches larger them the quilt top.
After you have quilted the block, (do not quilt right to the outer edge), Place the two block or rows, right side together, folding back the batting and backing. SEW the 2 block piece together with a 1/4 inch. Finger press to one side. ( you will not have any bulk if you finger press it good.). Then trim to have you batting meet together over the seam line, now... take the one piece of backing trim, so it is sitting just a ,, lets say 1/8 inch over the seam line. holding it nice and flat. then take the other attached backing , folding that piece under a quarter of an inch, and lap it over the seam. You can iron press this nice and smooth, then hand sew it. . There are site on the Internet that show you step by step. I will try to find the link and send it to you. Toni, once you do it, you will find it very easy. I do this with all my quilts, but do it row by row, instead of block b block. Good luck

Go with Google
type in the words Quilt as you Go
The first result you will find is secrets of .com/contents. Go there and they will show you colored photos like we were trying to explain. All your questions should be answered ther.

That's a kind thought to make this quilt Henry.
'Toni.....here's a link, scroll down to the assembly part & you can see how Sharon's method works, maybe this will answer what you're looking for. I made one quilt in this method for a child, I handstitched all the "connecting sashings" down on the back of the quilt.

Thanks to you Barb and Henry. I am starting to get the picture. Sorry I have been so slow. This is all just overwhelming. I think it is because when you start a new hobby you get way ahead of yourself and want to do it all as quickly as you can. You see what others do and want to do it but can't be patient to get there. :lol: Thanks again
