Quilting as you go stripwise 01

I am joining Twisted Sisters blocks made by Quayquilters for a Linus quilt. I have cut rows of backing and wadding and am stitching and flipping blocks and sashing. Lastly I'll add the borders. First I lay down the backing and mark the centre with a pin. Then I find the centre of the wadding strip and match it to the backing. A quick spray of basting glue secures them together. I mark the wadding to show the placement of the first block and a line all the way along to keep them straight as I go. The block is basted down and the strips pinned to either side then sewn using a walking foot.
