    Leah, love love love this video, and am copying the url for it for quick reference. Thank you so much. One suggestion, which I learned from garment sewing–in the second part of the video where you are flipping back the foundation and trimming the really bulky seams, just tilt your scissors until they're practically lying flat against the fabric the whole time you're trimming. This automatically 'grades' the seam allowance so that one layer ends up slightly wider than the other. This is a trick used in dressmaking to cut down on bulk and make the seam allowance line less obvious on the right side.

    Actually, I like this tehnic because I love piecing part and hate quilting part. This seemed mostly about piecing so I tried and enjoyed. IMHO, it's definitely suitable for a wall quilt but I can't imagine it for a cosy blanket because the outcome is heavy and stiff.
    I made a large picnic blanket and it's doing well. Thick, so no grass stubbles and small stones peeking through 🙂
