Repeat steps B through F for the remaining blocks and columns.
NOTE: Use a basting stitch before using permanent stitches,
so that you can make sure that the important elements of
each block align correctly.
Next, take the first two columns and put them faces together.
Align the points of interest and the corners and pin along the
edge to hold them in place.

Sew the columns together, removing the pins as you go. Once both columns are stitched together, use an iron to butterfly
the seams again. This will help prevent bulkiness after adding the
back fabric.

Now it’s time to add the back fabric. Place the quilt top face up on
top of the back fabric. The back fabric should be face down and
at least 2” wider than the quilt top on all sides.
Use 505 spray adhesive to adhere the quilt top to the back fabric.
NOTE: Using spray adhesive will prevent the fabric from
shifting too much while you stitch.
