Thanks for the info. I've never seen this done before and I do plan on making one or two more quilts with leftovers - so - this will help a lot.

Excellent tip. I often need to use more than one piece or leftovers and this will give me a much better product than my current methods. Thanks.

Thanks for the pictures - worth a 1000 words as always. Just an additional hint on the hand stitching : I do this with a back stitch on the X's to help distribute any strain on the batting pieces. Goes like this : start on left side, cross join going to lower right, go straight back up underside still on right side half the distance from departure level on underside of batting, come up to surface and head downwards across join again, enter needle and on underside run straight up again to half the distance of the diagonal stitch etc. etc. Looks like sloppy X's with a triangle on the end of each cross when you're done. Sorry I can't post a pic.

You're all very welcome. Astro...thanks for the alternate option on the stitching. A backstitch as your describe would certainly hold the batting gently in place, which is the whole idea, until the final quilting is done to really secure it.
