All of the vertical pieces have been sewn together, I have 5 completed rows. I will start sewing the horizontal strips tommorow. I will soon be nearing the batting/backing part, which I'm not sure how to go about. My mom has never quilted, yet she says the way my grandma told me to do it takes too long. So if anyone has quilting experince I'd love to hear ideas on how to do the batting/backing. Thanks!
