Use pins to secure the rows in place. Then transfer the rows
to your sewing machine and stitch them together by sewing
along the edge of the design and tacking stitch lines.

Once you’ve joined all the blocks and rows together, your tile
scene should look something like this.

Now, fold the back fabric out of the way to work in sections
and use spray adhesive to smooth and secure the back
fabric to the tile scene.
Again, open the row and once you are satisfied with the
alignment, butterfly press open the seams with a steam iron.
Now, place the tile scene right side facing down on a work
surface. Take a piece of fabric cut the size of your tile scene
plus an additional 2” and place it face side up over the
tile scene.
Once the back fabric has been secured, we are ready to
stitch in the ditch to join the two together. Starting at the
top or bottom, roll up or fold the quilt towards the face side,
leaving the center seam exposed for sewing.
