Never quilted before so I thought that the batting would be secured when sewn between the strips of fabrics. Good question. I think the video and tutorial were very good. Looks to be a pretty easy and quick quilt to make for a gift or for yourself. Have you made a strip quilt before? What is the best to start with?
